Former Vice President Dick Cheney is returning to Texas next Tuesday for a KBH fundraiser in an undisclosed location. (Just kidding, it’s actually at the Houston home of Kim and Dan Tutcher.)

Cost to attend the reception runs from $500 to $5,000. A $5,000 donation gets you into the VIP reception and in a photo with Cheney.
