AUSTIN -- Former Vice-President Dick Cheney will throw his support behind U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s campaign for governor.

The Hutchison campaign confirmed Wednesday that Cheney will endorse the Texas Republican’s March primary challenge of Gov. Rick Perry at a fundraiser next month.

Campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Baker says details are still being worked out, but Cheney is scheduled to appear at a Nov. 17 fundraiser and campaign event in Houston.

The former vice president is popular with conservative activists and could help Hutchison bolster support among them.
