Former Governor Chris Christie is expected to appear around New Jersey this year, traveling the state, in an effort to assist the Republican Party in New Jersey.

Christie won two statewide elections in New Jersey.

The former Governor and his allies - most notably state Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21) - expressed dismay that last year's GOP nominee for Governor, Jack Ciattarelli, did not adequately prove his independence from President Donald J. Trump.

At O'Bramnick's in Westfield last night, Christie spoke pragmatically about his party's future.

Trump lost three times in New Jersey.

Any Republican who wants to win here needs to create daylight between him or herself and the White House.
