How to read this: members of Congress report each asset and debt in a value band (for example, $1,001 to $15,000), not an exact amount. We add up the low ends and the high ends, then subtract debts the same way, to get the widest possible range. The midpoint is simply the middle of that range, not a measured value. The forms do not include a home the official lives in (unless it earns rent), cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so true net worth can be higher. Senate reports list mortgages but usually not the homes they are on. We count those mortgages as debts, as on all our Senate profiles, which can make the low end look lower than it really is.

Compares the 2013 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. He took office in 2009. The Senate's online database has his electronic reports from 2013 on, so we can't show his wealth when he first took office. Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.

Jim Risch reported household assets minus debts of $19.4M to $91.7M, a midpoint of about $55.6M, on his latest financial disclosure (Annual Report for CY 2025, filed August 13, 2026).

Jim Risch has represented Idaho in the U.S. Senate since 2009. A Republican, he was elected in 2008, reelected in 2014 and 2020, and ran for a fourth term in 2026.

A lawyer, he was Ada County prosecuting attorney, served in the Idaho Senate for many years, and was Idaho's lieutenant governor, serving briefly as governor in 2006 and 2007. Most of his listed wealth is farm, ranch and commercial land in Idaho, and his reports also list notes owed to him by his former lieutenant governor campaign committees.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 34 assets with a value, adding up to $20.4 million to $92.2 million. The largest are 40+ Acres Land, Ada County, ID (joint, $5M–$25M); 40 +/- Acres Land, Canyon County, ID (joint, $5M–$25M) and Agricultural and Commercial Real Estate Property (joint, $5M–$25M).

On the debt side, the report lists three debts adding up to $515,000 to $1.1 million. The largest is a mortgage with Bank of Idaho (serviced by Mr. Cooper), held jointly, in the $250K–$500K band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $19.4 million to $91.7 million, with a midpoint of about $55.6 million. The Senate form lists mortgages but usually not the homes they are on, so counting those mortgages as debts pulls the low end of the range down.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $53.3 million on his 2013 report to about $55.6 million on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $55.7 million, on the 2024 report. The lowest was about $41.8 million, in 2018. The chart shows 13 reports from 2013 to 2025, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.

These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Risch does not have to report a home he lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so his real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
