Cheney, the U.S. representative from Wyoming, has a father who served as vice president of the United States, a member of Congress and a chief of staff for the late President Gerald Ford.
Larson, the San Antonio-based state representative, worked at the age of 19 on his dad’s unsuccessful 1978 GOP campaign for Congress.
