John,

 

We have a problem that will impact the whole country.

 

For almost 60 years, individuals and civil rights groups such as the ACLU and the NAACP have used Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to challenge state gerrymandering, extreme voter ID laws, and other discriminatory election practices.

 

Their work has been instrumental in upholding the 15th Amendment and protecting democracy from racial discrimination...until now.

 

In a move that uproots nearly six decades of U.S. legal precedent, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday that individuals and groups are NOT allowed to sue states for violating the Voting Rights Act.

 

If we can’t sue to protect voting rights, then who can? Only the Justice Department. 

 

Imagine if Donald Trump or any Republican were in the highest office today and GOP-controlled states began passing discriminatory voting laws to stop people of color from voting. I don’t think the DOJ would step in – do you?

 

Any time Republicans are faced with a choice between treating every American fairly or rewriting a law to protect their own power, they choose option B. 


We need parents, community leaders, and humanitarians in Washington who will support voting rights and guarantee our path to defend them. Add it to the list of protections I will fight for when I enter Congress. Can you commit today to helping me win in 2024?

Republicans like my opponent Mike Simpson helped dismantle our once-functioning immigration process to target Brown folks. More recently, they reversed women’s rights to bodily autonomy and reproductive care.

 

Now they’ve shattered voting rights protections for racial minorities, and LGBTQ+ rights are hanging on by a thread.

 

If our Federalist Society-controlled SCOTUS doesn’t reverse the appeals court’s decision, our only chance at fixing this is to give Democrats the House, strengthen our hold on the Senate, and keep the White House next year.

 

My first day on the House floor, I will demand we take action to pass reinforcements and stronger protections for the Voting Rights Act, and I won’t stop pushing until we have a bill to send to President Biden’s desk.

 

That’s a promise.

 

Your next representative,

David Roth
         

David Roth is a single, gay dad running for Idaho’s Second Congressional District. We’re going up against a GOP incumbent who has been in this seat for almost 25 years. It’s time for change in Idaho, and our grassroots campaign is building on the momentum that began in David’s race for U.S. Senate last cycle. The GOP is not planning to defend this seat, so we plan to take it from them and help Democrats retake the House majority next year. We’d love your support to build a solid campaign to bring progress to Idaho and the country.
