Chris Christie Governorship
Christie was first elected to the Chosen Freeholders in 1994. Christie got his political start in Morris County, New Jersey when he ran as a Republican and defeated the sitting legislator.
He ran for and ultimately failed to earn a seat in New Jersey’s state legislature the following year. After that, he returned to private practice and stayed there for a while. During the 2000 presidential race, Christie served as George W. Bush’s campaign lawyer and was instrumental in the campaign’s fundraising efforts.
In 2001, President Bush selected Christie as U. S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, giving him a chance to exercise his legal and political chops in a high-profile position. His popularity among local Republicans during his time as U.S. Attorney allowed him to put his fundraising skills to use for the Republican Party. He stayed there for a total of six years.
Christie’s interest in politics only grew, so he campaigned for governor of New Jersey in 2009 and won. He defeated Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine by a razor-thin margin of just 4% of the vote. In 2013, Governor Christie was re-elected with a large majority of the vote. His government was not without controversy, but he was commended for his recovery work following Hurricane Sandy and his moderate politics won over a large swath of New Jersey voters.
