In 1992,Roberts was challenged by his predecessor,Ed Orlett,for the Democratic nomination,however Roberts ultimately won the primary election. [1] He went on to win reelection in 1994,and 1996 as well.
By 1998,term limits did not allow Roberts to seek another term in 2000,and he was succeeded by his former aide,Fred Strahorn. He instead decided to run for Montgomery County Commissioner,but lost in a landslide. [2]
Following Rhine McLin's victory to become Mayor of Dayton,Ohio,in 2001,her state Senate seat became vacant.

By 2009,Roberts was unable to run again for his Senate seat. As a result,Ohio Governor Ted Strickland appointed Roberts to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. He therefore was required to resign his Senate seat,and was replaced again by Fred Strahorn. [4]
