In 2010, he became the 55th Governor of New Jersey.
He was the first Republican to win a statewide election in New Jersey in 12 years.
He left the office on January 16, 2018.
Some people thought Christie was a leading candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016.
He announced his presidential campaign on June 30, 2015.
After poor polling numbers and not winning the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, Christie suspended his campaign on February 10, 2016.
On July 12, 2016, it was reported that Christie was on Trump's three-person shortlist to be his running mate in the general election.
On July 14, 2016, the Trump campaign announced that Governor of Indiana Mike Pence would be Trump's running mate.
Christie was born on September 6, 1962 in Newark, New Jersey.
He is of Irish-Scottish-Sicilian descent.
He was raised in Livingston, New Jersey.
Christie studied at the University of Delaware and at Seton Hall University.
He was elected county legislator in Morris County, serving from 1995 to 1998, during which time he generally pushed for lower taxes and lower spending.
By 2002, Christie had campaigned for Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Bush appointed him as United States Attorney for New Jersey, a position he held from 2002 to 2008.
In that position, he fought political corruption and also obtained convictions for sexual slavery, arms trafficking, racketeering by gangs, and other federal crimes.
Governor of New Jersey (2010-2018)
In January 2009, Christie declared his candidacy for Governor of New Jersey.
He won the Republican primary, and defeated incumbent Governor Jon Corzine in the election that November.
In 2013, he won re-election as Governor, defeating Democrat Barbara Buono by a margin of over 22%.
He was sworn in to a second term as governor on January 21, 2014.
As governor, Christie has promised not to raise taxes.
He has also vowed to lower the state income and business taxes.
On September 18, 2013, Christie signed legislation to overhaul the state's business tax incentive programs.
Christie has stated that he believes that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is too big and is "killing business" with permit delays.
In January 2013 Christie vetoed a New Jersey Legislature bill that would have raised the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour.
Christie supports gay marriage, but said that he would not pass a bill allowing gay marriage in New Jersey.
He also supports the DREAM Act and illegal immigrants.
On June 27, 2015, Christie launched his presidential campaign website.
He announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election on June 30, 2015.
Trump endorsement and transition team role
Despite having criticized Donald Trump prior to leaving the race, he endorsed Trump on February 26, 2016.
On May 9, 2016, Trump named Christie to head up a transition team in the event of a Trump presidency.
He soon emerged as a major power with the Trump campaign.
It was then announced on July 12, 2016 that Trump had narrowed down his vice presidential shortlist to three candidates, including Christie.
Mike Pence eventually became Trump's running mate.
He has been married to Mary Pat Foster since 1986.

Many residents of the colonies (possibly a majority) either were not in complete agreement with the Revolution and its leaders, or were against it.
Some of them actively worked against it, supporting King George III and the British Government.
These people became known as "Tories".
In many of the colonies, those who openly expressed being against the Revolution and those who joined militias loyal to King George were declared to be outlaws, and their properties taken away by the people favouring the Revolution.
Some of these people wanted to remain in a place that was still part of the British Empire, so they moved to what is now Canada.
In many places there they received a warm welcome and became a valued part of their new home area.
Many of them have maintained social groups which are limited to people whose ancestors were some of these people, and they are still called "United Empire Loyalists".
British North America was the British-owned part of the continent of North America.
This term was mostly used before the American Revolution.
In 1759, after winning the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, Britain took control of the colony of New France.
After this, British North America also included New France.
After the American Revolution, some people still used the term to refer to what is now the country of Canada.
In fact, the Canadian Constitution was first called the "British North America Act 1867" (which first became a law in 1867).

Translocation in vascular plants means the movement of organic molecules and some mineral ions.
Movement of water from the soil to the leaves occurs in xylem vessels as the result of Transpiration.
Transpiration, the evaporation of water from leaves, causes a pull on the water column due to the forces of cohesion between water molecules formed due to hydrogen bonds which causes the water to move upwards.
Organic materials,  mainly produced in the leaves, are moved around the plant in the living cells of the phloem by a process called translocation.
Unlike xylem (which is composed of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap.
Sap is a water-based solution, rich in sugars made by the photosynthesis.
These sugars are transported to non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots, or into storage structures, such as tubers or bulbs.
The 'pressure flow' hypothesis was proposed by Ernst Münch in 1930 to explain the mechanism of phloem translocation.
Leaves photosynthesize, making sugars.
Water moves into the sugar-laden sieve-tube cells with sugar by osmosis.
This creating pressure that pushes the sap down the sieve tube.
When the sugar reaches cells that need it, the cells actively transport sugars out of the sieve-tube elements.
During the plant's growth period, usually during the spring, storage organs such as the roots are sugar sources, and the plant's many growing areas are sugar sinks.
The movement in phloem is multi-directional, whereas, in xylem cells, it is one-directional (upwards).
Other molecules like amino acids, hormones, and even messenger RNAs are also transported in the phloem through sieve tube elements.

Clara Oswald is a fictional character on the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
She is portrayed by Jenna Coleman.
She first appeared in the show's seventh series.
Clara is a companion of the eleventh version of alien time traveller the Doctor (portrayed by Matt Smith).
During 2012 and 2013, the character is introduced as three different people with the same name.
Each was played by the same actress.
The first two incarnations die during the episode they appear in.
The third becomes the Doctor's companion.
While each one is different, the characters are meant to be seen as the same person.
This sets up a mystery to be solved.
Coleman took over as the show's female lead in the mid-series Christmas special.
At that time, she was portraying Victorian governess and barmaid Clara Oswin Oswald.
At the end of that episode, Coleman is seen playing a third version of the character.
This character was from modern day London and was named Clara Oswald.
Starting in the following episode, Clara Oswald travels as the Doctor's full-time companion.
During her third introduction, she gives herself the nickname Oswin.
It is a mixture of Oswald and win.
Coleman has said that she will be in the eighth series.
It is to begin filming in September 2013.
Oswin Oswald is first seen in the first episode of the seventh series, "Asylum of the Daleks".
She is the only survivor of the Starship Alaska.
The Alaska crashed on the Asylum, a prison planet for insane Daleks.
She has lived on the planet for about a year when the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) go to the Dalek Asylum to turn off the planet's force field.
They are trying to do this so that an army of sane Daleks can destroy the asylum.
Clara communicates with them and helps them escape from the Daleks.
She also removes all of the Daleks' memories of the Doctor.
She helps the group escape and the Doctor tries to rescue her.
He soon learns that she has already been captured and is now a Dalek cyborg.
The Daleks had tried to keep Oswin's intellect.
Because her mind could not deal with being turned into a cyborg, it created a fantasy where she survived as a human.
When she learned the truth, Oswin was almost taken over by her Dalek personality, but in the end she still would not kill the Doctor.
She deactivated the force field.
Clara makes a final request that the Doctor remember her.
She then lets the Doctor, Amy, and Rory leave the planet before it is destroyed.
Clara is introduced a second time in the 2012 Christmas special "The Snowmen".
This was her first episode as the Doctor's companion.
She was a young barmaid and governess in 1892.
She follows the Doctor after he saves her from an attack by living snowmen.
The Doctor asks her to travel with him after she enters the TARDIS, his time and space machine.
Soon after this, Clara falls to her death after being attacked.
Her tombstone shows her full name to be Clara Oswin Oswald.
The Doctor sees that she is the same woman as Oswin from the Asylum.
She even says the same things Oswin had said.
Intrigued by a woman who has lived and died two times in different periods of history, he begins look across time for another Clara.
The episode ends with a young woman, who could be a modern-day Clara, walking through the graveyard and stopping by Clara Oswin Oswald's tomb.
In a short prequel to the post-Christmas episode, the Doctor meets the modern Clara Oswald as a child, but he does not know it is her.
In "The Bells of Saint John", the modern Clara meets the Doctor after being given his phone number by a woman in a shop.
After an adventure in London, the Doctor asks Clara to become his companion.
In "The Rings of Akhaten", the Doctor tries to learn more about who (or what) Clara really is.
After watching her parents and her childhood, he finds nothing that is not normal.
The episode shows that her mother died when she was a teenager.
In "Hide", the Doctor goes to a haunted mansion to ask the psychic Emma Grayling about Clara.
She says Clara is just an ordinary girl. "
Hide" and "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" also show that the TARDIS does not like Clara.
In a version of time which was stopped from happening, the Doctor talks with Clara about the two previous versions of her he had met.
She did not know what he is talking about.

A zither is a stringed musical instrument.
The word 'Zither' is a German rendering of the Greek word cithara, from which the modern word "guitar" also derives.
Historically, it has been applied to any instrument of the cittern family, or an instrument consisting of many strings stretched across a thin, flat body – similar to a psaltery.
This article describes the second variety.
Zithers are played by strumming or plucking the strings, either with the fingers (sometimes using an accessory called a plectrum or pick), sounding the strings with a bow, or, with varieties of the instrument like the santur or cimbalom, by beating the strings with specially shaped hammers.
Like a guitaror lute, a zither's body serves as a resonating chamber (sound box), but, unlike guitars and lutes, a zither lacks a distinctly separate neck assembly.
The number of strings varies, from one to more than fifty.
In modern common usage the term "zither" refers to three specific instruments: the concert zither (German: Konzertzither), its variant the Alpine zither (both using a fretted fingerboard), and the chord zither (more recently described as a fretless zither or "guitar zither").
Concert and Alpine zithers are traditionally found in Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, France, north-western Croatia, the southern regions of Germany and alpine Europe.
Emigration from these areas during the 19th century introduced the concert and Alpine zither to North and South America.
Chord zithers similar to the instrument in the photograph also became popular in North America during the late 19th and early 20th century.
These variants all use metal strings, similar to the cittern.
Composite Compound 4 (often abbreviated to C4) is a kind of plastic explosive, which is often used in military operations.
C4 is malleable: It can be given almost any form.
It can also be handled safely, as neither fire, electricity nor shock will cause an explosion.
C4 will explode if force and heat are combined.
Because C4 can be given almost any form, additives are used, so that it can be detected more easily.
Some of these additives have a distinctive odor, which can be detected by specially trained dogs.
Another additive that is used often is metallic powder: This powder can be detected by metal detectors.
In chemistry, an additive is a substance that is added to a mixture or compound to change the properties of that mixture or compound.
Food additives are used to improve food.
Semtex is a plastic explosive, often used for construction work.
It is made of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate and RDX.

For example, dipping an object in boiling water or pasteurizing something are forms of sterilization.
Para-alpine skiing classification is the order system for para-Alpine skiing designed to give equal competition between alpine skiers with different types of limited physical powers.
The system of ordering are grouped into three general condition of being unable sorts: stand, unable to see and being seated.
Group selection is done by International Paralympic Committee AlpineSkiing.
Prior to that, several groups dealt with this including the International Sports Organization for the Disabled (ISOD), International Stoke Mandeville Games Federation (ISMWSF), International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) and Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CP-ISRA).
Some order systems are persons given government by bodies other than International Paralympic Committee Alpine skiing, such as the Special Olympics.
The sport is open to all competitors with a no seeing or physical condition of being unable stand.
It is not open to people with intellectual disabilities.
The first order systems for para-Alpine sking were made in Scandinavia in the 1960s, with early systems designed for skiers with no legs or arms.
At the time, necessary things had yet to be done to let skiers with spinal cord wounds ski.
The purpose of the early order systems was to be made around use of arms and legs but ended up being a medical order system.
At the first Winter Paralympics in 1976, there were two groups in the system of ordering for the sport.
By the 1980s, groups had existence for skiers with cerebral palsy.
At that time, with inspiration from wheelchair basketball classification, efforts were made to make order more of an able to use better system.
Ten groups had existence by the 1980s, and since then, efforts have been made to make better the doing work well of order by making fewer the number of classes so fewer medals can be rewarded.
Competition rules for groups use rules made by or are an adjustment from rules by the International Ski Federation.
For skiers with seeing problems, guides are used to help the skier down the mountain.
For standing skiers, different part rules come to a decision about what sort of necessary things is let in competition, such as one long stick, two sticks or no sticks, or one or two skis.
Seated skiers use a specially designed ski for going over snow quickly called a mono-ski.
Skiers are put in a group based on medical, and their body position when they ski.
Unable to see skiers are put in order only on a medical.

Geologic time scale uses the principles and techniques of geology to work out the geological history of the Earth.
It looks at the processes which change the Earth's surface and rocks under the surface.
Geologists use stratigraphy and paleontology to find out the sequence of the events, and show the plants and animals which lived at different times in the past.
They worked out the sequence of rock layers.
Then the discovery of radioactivity and the invention of radiometric dating techniques gave a way to get the ages of the layers (strata).
We now know the timing of important events that have happened during the history of Earth.
The Earth is about 4.567 billion (4,567 million) years old.
The geological or deep time of Earth's past has been organized into various units.
Boundaries on the time scale are usually marked by major geological or palaeontological events, such as mass extinctions.
For example, the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Palaeogene period is defined by the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event.
This marked the end of the dinosaurs and of many marine species.
Prospecting for energy sources and valuable minerals depends on understanding the geological history of an area.
Such knowledge can also help lessen the hazards of earthquakes and volcanoes.
The largest defined unit of time is the supereon composed of Eons.
Eons are divided into Eras, which are in turn divided into Periods, Epochs and Stages.
At the same time paleontologists define a system of faunal stages, of varying lengths, based on the kinds of animal fossils found there.
In many cases, such faunal stages have been adopted in building the geological nomenclature, though in general there are far more recognized faunal stages than defined geological time units.
Geologists tend to talk in terms of Upper/Late, Lower/Early and Middle parts of periods and other units, such as "Upper Jurassic", and "Middle Cambrian".
Upper, Middle, and Lower are terms applied to the rocks themselves, as in "Upper Jurassic sandstone," while Late, Middle, and Early are applied to time, as in "Early Jurassic deposition" or "fossils of Early Jurassic age."
The adjectives are capitalized when the subdivision is formally recognized, and lower case when not; thus "early Miocene" but "Early Jurassic."
Because geologic units occurring at the same time but from different parts of the world can often look different and contain different fossils, there are many examples where the same period was historically given different names in different locales.
For example, in North America the Lower Cambrian is called the Waucoban series that is then subdivided into zones based on trilobites.
The same timespan is split into Tommotian, Atdabanian and Botomian stages in East Asia and Siberia.
A key aspect of the work of the International Commission on Stratigraphy is to reconcile this conflicting terminology and define universal horizons (time division) that can be used around the world.
Table of geologic time
The following table summarizes the major events and characteristics of the periods of time making up the geologic time scale.
As above, this time scale is based on the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
The height of each table entry does not correspond to the duration of each subdivision of time.

Jeremy Shada (born January 21, 1997, in Boise, Idaho, US) is an American actor and singer.
He is best known for his work as Finn the Human from the American animated television series Adventure Time.
Jeremy Shada began acting at the age of seven soon after moving to Los Angeles with his family.
He was inspired to act by his older brother Zack Shada, who had begun acting himself.
Shada initially appeared in commercials.
Later on, he began auditioning for voice acting and theatrical performances, taking the advice from a voice over agent.
His first live action theatrical role was as Young Kurt Diamond in No Rules.
He has since appeared in additional live action and voice acting roles, such as playing Charlie Pace in childhood flashbacks on Lost.
In 2009, Jeremy Shada's agent approached him with the idea of auditioning for the role of Finn.
Both recognized that Zack Shada had been the original voice of Finn in the pilot episode of Adventure Time three years before.
After viewing the pilot on YouTube, Shada matched his voice with the voice of Zack Shada in auditions with Adventure Time's creator Pendleton Ward and the show's producers, earning him the Finn role.
In 2012, Shada joined the cast of Nick Cannon's comedy sketch Incredible Crew.
In June 2012, to promote Incredible Crew's 2013 premiere, Cartoon Network released a music rap video titled "Running Errands with My Mom" which features Shada performing and rapping the lyric.
The video has since generated over one million views.
Because of his acting schedule, Shada was homeschooled.
Answering fan questions on his Facebook page, Shada indicated that he graduated from high school early in May 2013.

Isabella Acres (born February 21, 2001) is an American actress who played Rose on Better Off Ted.
Acres was born in Atlanta, where she discovered her love for acting in children's theater.
She then relocated to Los Angeles.
Acres' little sister, Ava, is also an actress.
Acres is best known for her series regular role as Rose Crisp on Better Off Ted, the seven-year-old daughter of Ted (Jay Harrington) who is often the most mature person at his home and workplace.
The show's first season finished in August 2009, with a second picked up for January 2010.
Acres also appeared on an episode of Monk in 2007, and single episodes of The Mentalist where she plays Patrick Jane's (Simon Baker) daughter and on the hit television show Hannah Montana.
Acres was nominated for Best Performance in a TV Series, Guest Starring Young Actress at the Young Artist Awards 2009 for her performance in The Mentalist.
She currently can be seen in the recurring role of Soleil Friedman in the second season of the Fox television series Touch.
Pincher was born on 29 March 1914 in Ambala, Punjab.
His father was from Britain and his mother was American.
Pincher studied at Darlington Grammar School and King's College London.
Pinker wrote a series of books on supposed KGB spies in the West, mostly members of the British ruling class whom he believed were traitors in the service of the KGB.
Among these were Roger Hollis, former head of MI5, and Harold Wilson, twice Prime Minister in the 1960s and 70s.
Many of these ideas had come from James Jesus Angleton, former CIA counterespionage chief.
Angleton's career ended when his many allegations were not supported with appropriate evidence.
Among his more outrageous claims was that Canadian Prime Ministers Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau were agents of the Soviet Union.
Another source was Peter Wright, a former assistant director of MI5.
The British Government tried to prevent the publication of Wright's own Spycatcher (1987), which covered much the same ground as Pincher's Their trade is treachery.
Wright had published in Australia, and the Australian court case ran on for years with no success.
In the event, nothing was proved against Hollis, who was the main target of Their trade is treachery.
Later British Prime Ministers stated that Hollis was a loyal servant of the Crown, and that a great injustice had been done to him by the Pincher and Wright books.
