Description
Christopher James "Chris" Christie is the fifty-fifth and current governor of New Jersey and former U. S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in the state, Christie earned praise from leaders in both parties and drew national attention for his efforts in battling political corruption, corporate crime, human trafficking, gangs, terrorism and polluters. Sworn in as governor in January 2010, he has made national news with his aggressive personality, his confrontations with teachers, firemen, police, and state employee unions, his efforts to curb New Jersey's out-of-control spending and corrupt political culture, and his showdown with the state legislature. A national figure in Republican circles, Christie is rumoured to be a future candidate for president, if not in 2012 then in 2016. This biography details the fascinating legal and political career and surrounding controversies of this truly maverick persona.
