Traffic accident
editIn 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]

Presidential campaign
editIn 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
editIn 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
editRoth lives with her husband and two children in Elk, Washington.[11]
