Cheney stumps for GOP candidate in Mississippi
Vice President Dick Cheney injected the weight of the White House Friday into a special election for a Mississippi House seat.
Cheney appeared on “The Paul Gallow Show” to support Southaven Mayor Greg Davis (R).
“This seat is a very important one,” Cheney said. “It’s been in conservative hands for a long time, and we’d hate to see the liberals gain control.”
The vice president said holding the seat is crucial because it could tip the scales in close votes on Capitol Hill.
“Having Greg Davis in the House could make all the difference, in terms of that policy,” he said.
Cheney is following up the interview with a visit to Mississippi on Monday. The vice president said he would participate in a “get out the vote” rally for the GOP candidate.
