The Legislative Committee of the Republican Party of the 38th District chose Rezin to fill the vacancy created by Dahl's resignation.[3] To replace Rezin, the Republican Representative Committee of the 75th Representative District appointed Roth to serve in the 97th General Assembly.[2][4]

During the 97th General Assembly, her House assignments were to the Committees on Aging; Appropriations—Elementary & Second- ary Education; Appropriations—Human Services; Consumer Protection; Elementary & Secondary Education; and Environmental Health.[1] She was elected to the House in the 2012 general election.[1] She resigned from the Illinois House in 2013 when she moved out of state.[5] Her resignation was effective August 19, 2013. The Republican Party from the 75th Representative District appointed John D. Anthony to the vacancy.[6]
