Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
DGA Welcomes Gov. Christie Home to New Jersey
DGA Welcomes Gov. Christie Home to New Jersey
Today, the Democratic Governors Association released the following statement welcoming Gov. Chris Christie home for his State of the State Address:
“After spending an astonishing 261 days away from the state last year, we welcome Gov. Christie home to New Jersey,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “We’d like to remind Gov. Christie that Manchester is a Township in Ocean County, Dover is a town in Morris County and the Shore isn’t called the Seacoast.
“We’d also like to remind him that New Jersey suffers from infrastructure and public pension disasters he has completely ignored while on the campaign trail. Absentee-Governor Chris Christie has excused himself from his day job as governor in favor of his failing presidential campaign. With priorities like these, it’s hard to imagine a warm welcoming party.”
BACKGROUND
In 2015 Chris Christie Spent 261 Days Out of New Jersey. According to WNYC, “261. That’s how many days Governor Christie spent out of New Jersey in 2015. And According to New Jersey Public Radio’s Matt Katz, ‘There’s not much really happening in terms of the governance of New Jersey.’ As state matters are squeezed between the governor’s campaign stops and TV appearances, Matt says Trenton has ‘basically ground to halt.’” [WNYC, 1/6/16]
