Roth was president of the Colorado Labor Council of the AFL-CIO from 1962 to 1973. He was removed from the position by the national president, George Meany, after the Colorado chapter endorsed George McGovern for president in 1972. Years later, Roth had a short career as head of the Colorado Labor and Employment Office when Dick Lamm was governor. News stories said Roth had tried to revamp the department and he told a reporter at the time, “I don’t think the bureaucracy of government is ready for innovative people.” Roth was in the Colorado House in 1949-50 and the state Senate in 1957-60. He ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate Democratic nomination in 1974. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS AND STORE FOR SIMILAR ITEMS AND COMBINE FOR THE LOWEST POSTAGE.
