Preview

The Republican governor of New Jersey also wants to be president. Chris Christie is known for being big, in physical size and personality. He is also considered combative. Governor Christie was considered a front-runner for the Republican nomination until the scandal known as “Bridgegate.” His administration took action to punish a local mayor for political reasons. The employees unnecessarily ordered the closing of a busy bridge in the mayor’s area. It delayed traffic severely and angered many.

The Republican Party also criticized Mr. Christie for working with President Obama on Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. The severe storm caused major damage along the New Jersey coast in 2012. Mr. Christie’s supporters are moderates generally. He announced he is running on June 30th 2015.
