My Take
Jim Risch interests me less for his titles than for his trajectory. Born in Milwaukee, he chose Idaho in the early 1960s and built an entire life there, lawyer, lieutenant governor, briefly governor, and senator since 2009. That is the story of someone who plants roots deliberately rather than inheriting them. Still active in foreign affairs well into his eighties, he embodies a kind of unglamorous persistence I find increasingly rare in politics. I tend to trust people whose careers are built one steady rung at a time, and Risch reads as exactly that sort of figure.
