Political career

In the 2010 general election, Republican Sue Rezin defeated incumbent Democratic legislator Careen Gordon to serve from the 75th district in the 97th Illinois General Assembly.[2] On December 10, 2010, Gary G. Dahl resigned from the Illinois Senate. The Legislative Committee of the Republican Party of the 38th District chose Rezin to fill the vacancy created by Dahl's resignation.[3] To replace Rezin, the Republican Representative Committee of the 75th Representative District appointed Roth to serve in the 97th General Assembly.[2][4]

During the 97th General Assembly, her House assignments were to the Committees on Aging; Appropriations—Elementary & Second- ary Education; Appropriations—Human Services; Consumer Protection; Elementary & Secondary Education; and Environmental Health.[1] She was elected to the House in the 2012 general election.[1] She resigned from the Illinois House in 2013 when she moved out of state.[5] Her resignation was effective August 19, 2013. The Republican Party from the 75th Representative District appointed John D. Anthony to the vacancy.[6]
