Another Cheney in the News


Recently Liz Cheney Perry, daughter of former vice-president Dick Cheney, has been very visible and audible, beating the conservative drum like a wind-up monkey, on a Bash Obama media campaign. Now her sister Mary hits the news as it’s announced that she is pregnant with her second child. The staunch Republican, 40, and her partner Heather Poe expect the baby in mid-to-late November, according to a source close to the Cheney family. Mary and Heather, a former UPS employee, have been together 17 years.

Cheney and Poe’s first child, Samuel David Cheney, was born in May of 2007. They declared the pregnancy and birth a private matter and declined to answer questions about it.

Mary Cheney has played a prominent role in her father's political life, from campaigning as a child through managing his re-election effort in 2004. She also made a controversial name for herself in marketing Coors beer to the gay community, and most currently worked as a marketing executive for America Online. It was also reported that Mary Cheney will be leaving the communications firm where she has worked to take maternity leave and to begin a new consulting firm with her father and also sister, Liz.
