CHRIS CHRISTIE was born in Newark and raised in Livingston, New Jersey. Christie has lived in New Jersey his entire life. After graduating from the University of Delaware in 1984, Christie graduated from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1987. Christie joined a Cranford law firm and soon was named a partner. He was elected a Freeholder in Morris County, and served as Director of the Board in 1997. Christie was named U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 2002. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in New Jersey, he 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. His office racked up an astonishing record - winning convictions or guilty pleas from over 130 public officials - both Republican and Democrat - without losing a single case. Christie became New Jersey’s 55th governor on January 19, 2010. Christie and his wife of 22 years, Mary Pat, have four children, Andrew, Sarah, Patrick and Bridget. |
