First and Second Lady of Idaho (2003–2009)

Risch became first lady on May 26, 2006, when her husband succeeded former governor, Dirk Kempthorne, who resigned to become United States Secretary of the Interior.[1] She succeeded former first lady, Patricia Kempthorne, who had held the post for over seven years. She served as first lady until January 2007, as her husband did not seek a full term as governor, but rather was reelected to his old post as lieutenant governor.[3]
