“Public service is about working together.”

~ RICHARD D. ROTH Major General, USAF (Ret.)

Dear neighbor,

I’m a proud veteran who served in the United States Air Force for 32 years, retiring with the rank of Major General. There, we didn’t worry about political party – because you need both wings to fly.  

I ran for State Senate as a moderate Democrat in 2012, I’ve worked across the aisle to get things done.  Whether it’s fully funding the UC Riverside School of Medicine to train local doctors to address our physician shortage, creating hundreds of new jobs by bringing a state research and development facility to Riverside County, or protecting and expanding our investment in higher education, I am proud of the important victories we have achieved by working together.

I hope I can count on your support for my campaign for County Supervisor as we work together to get even more done for Inland Southern California.

Respectfully,

Senator Richard Roth

Candidate for Riverside County Supervisor

 

About Richard Roth

When Richard graduated from law school, he chose to go into the military rather than practice corporate law.  He wanted to follow in the footsteps of his own father who served our country in the Army during World War II. Richard’s decorated career spanned 32 years in the U.S. Air Force, where he retired as Major General.

Today, Richard serves as our State Senator and continues his volunteer community work which has included serving on the boards for Riverside Community Hospital, La Sierra University Foundation and Riverside Art Museum. He and his wife Cindy live in Riverside where they raised their daughter Nikki and now are proud grandparents to Page and Parker.

Dear Friend,

Although there are votes that remain to be counted, it is clear that we did not prevail in the race for Riverside County Supervisor.

In this great American democracy, which we so cherish and revere, the people have the final say, and I respect and accept their decision to elect Jose Medina as our next County Supervisor. I congratulate Supervisor-elect Medina on a hard-fought victory; and, no matter who you voted for in this race, I hope you will join me in wishing Supervisor-elect Medina success – because Riverside County’s success depends on it.

To the many supporters of our campaign, who knocked on doors, made phone calls, opened their homes to help our efforts, and more: I can’t thank you enough, and will never forget your support, friendship and faith in my candidacy and vision for Riverside County.

To my wife Cindy, I thank her for her incredible love and support, not only during this long campaign, but for the many years she has been my wonderful partner in life.

It has been the honor of my life to represent our region as State Senator for the last 12 years, working to deliver real results and victories for Inland Southern California. I have always believed public service is about working together, which is why I urge everyone to rededicate themselves to continuing the work needed to make Riverside County an even better place for our families.

It has been a privilege and an honor to serve you. While the results of this election mean the privilege ends, the honor will remain with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Respectfully,
Richard D. Roth, Maj Gen, USAF (Ret.)
