Hutchison ‘pleased’ to have Cheney endorsement
AUSTIN — Former Vice President Dick Cheney is supporting U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Texas governor’s race and will formally unveil his endorsement at a Nov. 17 fundraiser in Houston.
“I am so pleased,” Hutchison said on WBAP Radio in Dallas on Wednesday. “I respect the vice president so much. We’ve worked together. He knows my record as a conservative in the Senate.”
Cheney was often depicted as a conservative hard-liner in the Bush administration and, as such, could help boost Hutchison’s support among conservative activists in her bid to unseat Gov. Rick Perry in the March 2 Republican primary.
