Cheney to Headline DeLay GOP Fundraiser
HOUSTON - A hurricane-postponed GOP fundraiser for embattled Congressman Tom DeLay will be held Dec. 5 and feature Vice President Dick Cheney.
The event in Houston had been scheduled for September, until Hurricane Rita struck. The Houston Chronicle reports top-dollar tickets are $4,200.
That price will get those people a spot in a VIP reception and a photo with the vice president.
For half that amount, donors get to attend a reception and have their picture taken with the Sugar Land Republican.
Those just wanting to get into the event must pay $500.
DeLay this year was indicted in Austin on conspiracy and money laundering charges related to donations for 2002 Texas House races.
DeLay says he's innocent.
Former Congressman Nick Lampson is seeking the Democrat nomination to run against DeLay in 2006.
