Christie Family Goes ‘All In’ for LD38 Victory

Pundits on both sides of the aisle are trying to gauge Governor Christie’s “seriousness” as his party battles for legislative gains in super-close LD2 and LD38.

One powerful indication? If there’s one thing the man is serious about in this word it’s his lovely wife, Save Jerseyans, and she’s personally headed to LD38 this week to review the troops (a.k.a. thank volunteers at BCRO HQ in Hackensack).

First Lady Mary Pat Christie’s visit is scheduled for Thursday, November 3rd at 11:00AM. And trust me when I say that the First Lady is no pawn who gets “sent” anywhere. She has a reputation as an independent woman who informs the Governor’s decisions and often intervenes on behalf of candidates and causes that she considers worthy. In short, she wouldn’t be on the ground in Bergen if she didn’t believe it was important.

Plenty of other stuff is happening on the paid media front, too. Governor Christie is live through Election Day with television ads in both LD38 and LD2 as well as two other districts. He also visited Atlantic County again on Tuesday to boost the Polistina-Amodeo-Brown ticket at a salt water taffy factory.

I still think Mary Pat’s participation is as insightful as any ad buy or gubernatorial drop-in.
