John,

 

I was recently invited by Channel 7 KTVB’s Sunday morning program Viewpoint to talk about my race to flip this U.S. Senate seat here in Idaho.

 

Host Joe Parris and I had a great conversation that covered a wide range of issues – like why I got into this race and how I’m going to fight for working families when elected.

 

Around the 12 minute mark, we discussed what it means for me to be an openly gay man running for U.S. Senate in a more conservative state like Idaho.

 

I took that opportunity to share some of the personal stories people have entrusted to me throughout my campaign, including letters I’ve received from parents of LGBTQ+ youth. Below is a snippet of that conversation.

Representation matters, and right now it is so important that LGBT people are visible and that we take a seat at the table.

 

The same is true of every major issue we are grappling with right now. From abortion to marriage equality, to protecting Social Security and Medicare, to defending our democracy – all of us who have a stake in these outcomes deserve to have a voice that truly represents us.

 

And right now, Senator Mike Crapo does NOT represent us.

 

On every major issue, Mike Crapo votes in lockstep with the Republican Party and their big money donors – even when a majority of conservative voters disagree. That’s why he voted AGAINST expanded healthcare for veterans, why he voted AGAINST protecting abortion rights, why he voted AGAINST reducing inflation or reining in Big Pharma.

 

I believe that Idahoans deserve better than a sell-out senator who only cares about toeing the partisan line and keeping corporations happy.

 

John, I know this race is a long-shot. That doesn't mean it's not worth the fight.

 

I'm not giving up on Idaho, and I hope you won't, either. I believe every seat is worth fighting for. It's time to flip this seat from red to blue and deliver for THE PEOPLE!

For the people,

David Roth is a single, gay dad running to flip a U.S. Senate seat in Idaho. His opponent is an extremist “pro-life” Republican who’s been in politics for 37 years. David stepped up to serve the state that has been his home most of his life, where he is now raising his two young sons, because every state is worth fighting for. There has never been an openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate. Help us make history this year. Pitch in now to flip this seat and send David to D.C.
