The Republican Party of Sarasota is postponing its event honoring former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., because of Hurricane Irma. The pair were originally slated to be named the party's 2017 Statesman of the Year and Stateswoman of the Year on Saturday, Oct. 7. No replacement date has yet been set; all already-made reservations will be honored.
