On January 14, 2008, Riser succeeded outgoing Democratic Senator Noble Ellington. Riser is the first Republican in modern times to have won this Senate seat. John Henry Baker of Delhi was the first Republican to have sought the seat, but in the general election held on February 1, 1972, Baker fell well short of victory.

However, Ellington had also served earlier in the House from 1988 to 1996.
