“It used to be when someone was elected they bought a house and moved their entire family to Washington and that’s where they lived. That’s where the kids went to school. That’s where they made their home. But for us it could never be home. Wichita is home and we get back here as often as we can,” she told Wichita Magazine.
2. They have one son.
The couple have a 27-year-old son named Nicholas. He currently lives in New York and works at a tech start-up company. The family also has two dogs, Patton and Holly.

Pompeo was married to Leslie Libert in 1986 and divorced in 1997. The couple married right after he graduated from West Point.
4. They are Evangelicals.
The family regularly attends church at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Pompeo is also a deacon and teaches Sunday school.
5. She played a big role in his campaign.
In 2010, when he was running for the House of Representatives, Susan was a major part of the campaign process.
According to an interview with Wichita Magazine, she said, “We decided we would do this together. We set out to do this like we would do any venture. I loved the campaigning part of it, much more than Mike did. We’ve laughed many times because there is no manual to tell you step-by-step how to do this, not even how to transition.” She appeared in a 30 second commercial for her husband as well.
