SR: Risch, Wasden, Twilegar, Jana Jones, Crane

Obviously, (Gov. Jim) Risch has the qualifications to hold the part-time office of lieutenant governor. So does Democrat Larry LaRocco, a moderate who served two terms as an Idaho congressman in the early 1990s. However, Risch has already proved that he has the leadership and mettle to step into the governor’s office in case the state’s top executive is called away by federal appointment, illness or death. He has earned another term as lieutenant governor. For the rest of the Risch endorsement as well as those for other state executive offices, click here .
