I also agree that addressing him as Governor Ridge is better than Secretary Ridge.
A Governor is the head of a state, whilst Secretary is just head of a department.

I think it's more proper to address him as Governor Ridge, rather than Secretary Ridge.
"Honorable" is reserved for those still in office.

It is generally accepted to address them by the highest position they held while in public service. I would address him as Secretary Ridge unless he requested to be addressed as something else.

His head of the place of work of criminal council skill that the Bush administration push him to place in writing criminal evaluations that crossed the line of legality so they could legally ruin out with doing unlawful acts. And now this from the former US fatherland protection chief. those human beings have been employed simply by fact they have been extremely conservative. those are not liberals aiming assaults on the former Bush administration. those are extremely conservatives that have been hand picked by skill of the Bush administration to artwork for them simply by fact they have been extremely conservative. a narrative will become plenty greater achieveable whilst it comes from human beings of an identical political celebration. And Tom Ridge is by skill of a procedures no longer the 1st to accuse his former bosses of misdeeds.

It would always be safe to call him Mr. Ridge. Some people don't like to use old titles.

Face-to-face, I'd probably play it safe and just go with "Sir."
