It's official: David Roth for Congress

The Desert Sun:

La Quinta Democrat David Roth formally announced his candidacy for Congress in the 45th District on Wednesday - and with no shortage of shots at the current holder of that seat, Palm Springs Republican Mary Bono.

"The people of this district - Republican, Democrat and independent alike - are so tired of not being heard, of being governed from afar and by fear," Roth said, adding that district residents are ready for guidance from a member of Congress "who thinks of them first - not as an afterthought to a president's agenda or a whirlwind of black-tie affairs."

Roth has already an impressive $100,000 on hand for his campaign, but he'll need a lot more if he's going to win. And that's where we come in. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is looking at targeting Bono's seat and helping Roth out. And they'll have a big incentive if Roth can show strong grassroots support.

That means signing up and donating. Help David Roth here.
