Laurie Roth is an American radio talk show host and political commentator. She hosts the nationally syndicated political talk show, The Roth Show. As a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election, she unsuccessfully sought the 2012 nominations of the Constitution Party and the American Independent Party.

Education and early career

[edit]

Roth earned a PhD in counseling with an emphasis on alcohol and drugs from Oregon State University.[1] She was a singer-songwriter in the early to mid-1990s and host and co-producer of the PBS music show "CD Highway" from 1995 to 2000.[1]

Talk radio career

[edit]

Roth began her career in talk radio as a guest on KGA-AM in Spokane, Washington in 2001.[1] She then had her own show on KPLS in Los Angeles, California.[1]

The Roth Show

[edit]

The self-described "Annie Oakley of the Airwaves,"[1] has hosted the nationally syndicated The Roth Show, a conservative political commentary program, since 2003 on KQNT in Spokane.[1] The program is broadcast weekdays from the studios of flagship station KSBN in Spokane to over 50 stations nationwide.[2][3]

Traffic accident

[edit]

In August 2005, Roth was critically injured when the motorcycle she was riding struck a deer,[4][5] from which she suffered multiple broken bones and other bodily injuries, and was in a coma for two weeks. As a result of her injuries, she was unable to host her radio program for nearly a year. She returned as host of The Roth Show in June 2006.[2][6]

Political activity

[edit]

Roth is a political columnist for the Internet publications News With Views, Canada Free Press and the New Media Journal.[7]

Presidential campaign

[edit]

In mid-2011, Roth confirmed that she was exploring the possibility of running for President of the United States.[8] She announced her candidacy for the presidential nomination of the American Independent Party in November 2011.[9] She also ran for the presidential nomination of the Constitution Party,[10][11] which was won by former U.S. Congressman Virgil Goode on the first ballot at the 2012 Constitution Party National Convention.[12] Roth finished fifth in the balloting with 1.49% of the vote. Following her defeat for that party's nomination, Roth continued her candidacy for the American Independent Party nomination and contemplated the possibility of continuing her presidential bid as a "tea party" independent candidate.[13]

Roth announced that she had dropped out of the 2012 presidential race on July 25, 2012.[14]

Plaintiff in lawsuits against President Obama

[edit]

In January 2012, Roth was named as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against President Barack Obama in Georgia,[15] and was represented by birther movement activist Orly Taitz.[16] Roth and her fellow plaintiffs challenged President Obama's eligibility to run for president of the United States. On February 3, 2012, Judge Michael Malihi ruled in favor of President Obama.[16] Roth and her fellow plaintiffs appealed Judge Malihi's ruling; their appeal was denied on March 2, 2012.[17]

In April 2012, Roth was added as a plaintiff to an election challenge against the President in Mississippi.[18] While listed on legal motions for the Mississippi election challenge, it was unknown if Roth was an official plaintiff as no motion requesting Roth's addition as a plaintiff was noted on the case docket.

Personal life

[edit]

Roth lives with her husband and two children in Elk, Washington.[11]
