Political campaigns

In 2014, Roske ran for US Congress in California's 33rd district while living on a yacht anchored off Marina del Rey."[9]

Roske was an independent candidate in the 2018 Iowa gubernatorial election, and was endorsed by Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss: "The people of Iowa might look for years for a candidate as bright, committed, and independent in truth and behavior as Brent Roske. I have no doubt in the decency of Brent, in the fierceness of his desire to serve, and for his ability to be truly bi-partisan in his approach," Dreyfuss said in the statement, which was confirmed by his management. "Brent Roske doesn't have a petty bone in his body. He loves the idea of America — almost Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington — and we're going to need many more of his kind in the present and upcoming turmoil of the next few years." [10]

In 2019, Roske joined the John Delaney 2020 presidential campaign as the Iowa State Director.[11][12]

The day after the US House of Representatives passed HR51, DC Shadow Senator Paul Strauss wrote: 'In honor of Brent Roske's birthday, I do hereby proclaim him to be an Ambassador of the District of Columbia (AODC) and thank him for all he has done to advance DC Statehood.'[13]
