Mary Pat Christie Speaks at the CATS Roundtable Radio Show

Interview Highlights

States that her husband (Chris Christie) has a record of working with members of both political parties, “I could see him transferring those skills on the national level, because he knows the issues so well and because he can really bring people together and forge compromise and get things done, he’s a real doer; he’s not just a talker.”

“So much of what Chris and I have done over the years has been done as a team, so we decided to continue the tradition.”

Says she is “gone anywhere from two to three days a week” campaigning for her husband.

“Chris is just running around, and he’s so good at what he’s doing, but I get to remind him sometimes about what’s going on at home, and remind him to ask Patrick about a hockey game, or remind him to ask Bridgett about how she did on her social studies test, and that’s how come we work so well as a team.”
