David Roth in 2022 ID Senate race
On Drugs:
For evidence-based programs to reduce substance abuse
I support directing more federal resources that are dedicated to evidenced-based programs proven to reduce substance use. These programs have been successfully implemented in communities across our country, including several right here in Idaho.
These programs are addressing the root causes of addiction and are proven to be successful.

On Education:
Incentivize states to invest more in education
I will fight for more coordinated efforts to bring critical resources to our schools and communities. I would like to see more incentives that encourage states to increase their own investments in education, especially early childhood programs.
When Idaho invests in our kids, the federal government should be there to strengthen that investment with more dollars, more tools and more resources for our classroom teachers.

On Health Care:
Fix the gaps in the ACA, especially in under-served areas
The Affordable Care Act did much to expand access to critical healthcare. However, there are still some shortfalls. Of particular concern are the high cost of prescription drugs and the poor coverage of and access to mental health services,
especially in rural areas. I would like to see increased investments in telehealth infrastructure to bring critical services to underserved areas. I believe that we need to work to fix the gaps in the ACA.
