"Cheney, 39, has served as the principal deputy assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs since February 2005. In that role, she launched the Middle East Partnership Initiative, an effort to provide funding for programs to advance political and educational reform and women's rights in the region.

"She also worked in the State Department from 2002 to 2003, before leaving to work on her father's re-election campaign.
