Cheney attends Chabot fundraiser this week

Vice President Dick Cheney is headed to Cincinnati on Thursday to headline a private fundraiser for Rep. Steve Chabot's re-election campaign.

Chabot faces Democrat John Cranley, a Cincinnati City Council member from Price Hill. Chabot, a Westwood Republican, will host the vice president at the West Side home of Dennis and Patricia Ott. The event costs $2,100 per person or couple to get a photo with the vice president; $1,500 per couple or $1,000 per person to attend the reception.

The Cheney event comes three weeks after a Chabot fundraiser with first lady Laura Bush had to be postponed due to a soldier funeral. Cheney previously helped Sen. Mike DeWine’s campaign at a Jan. 26 fundraiser in Washington.
