PARSIPPANY – Chris Christie’s campaign for Governor continued its momentum today, announcing an impressive list of Mercer County Republican elected officials and municipal chairs who have endorsed Chris Christie.

Congressman Chris Smith heads the list. Smith said, “Chris Christie and I share a commitment to protecting the most vulnerable in society including victims of human trafficking, pornography, forced labor and other crimes and horrific human rights abuses. He is a strong and innovative leader and as Governor, Chris Christie will fight for what is just and right for the people of New Jersey.”

“Chris Christie is a tested leader who will bring aggressive, common-sense solutions to reform the way business is done in Trenton,” said Senator Bill Baroni. “We’re all tired of hearing that the problems of our state are too big to solve or that Trenton is too broken to fix. I’m supporting Chris because I know his bold plans will produce real results for Mercer County and our state.”

“Our message of change is resonating with the voters of New Jersey. Our Mercer County team, led by Congressman Smith, Senator Baroni, and Chairman Wesley, shows that our momentum is building as we talk about solutions – instead of excuses – to get our state back on track,” said Christie.

Please stay tuned for another release tomorrow as part of the campaign's 30 Days of Good News.
