Chris Christie to Hold Public Town Hall Meeting in Cedar Grove

If you’ve ever wanted to share a piece of your mind with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, here’s your chance, Essex County.

On Thursday, April 23, Christie will appear at the Essex County College Police Academy in Cedar Grove, as part of his “Town Hall” meeting campaign.

According to a release on Christie’s Facebook page, the meeting will be his 136th Town Hall meeting since taking office.

The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited and seating is available on a first come first serve basis. Interested participants can RSVP to Townhall.CedarGrove@nj.gov

The meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m.; Doors open at 9:30 a.m.

NATURAL HABITAT

Christie has become known for using the town hall meeting format to his advantage, as a recent Wall Street Journal report described:

“The town hall is one of Mr. Christie’s favorite settings: a 90-minute gathering that often devolves into political spectacle, with fans and foes clashing and his brash personality being tested by New Jersey’s brash populace.”

Christie’s propensity for the forum hasn’t stopped his critics from taking their shots, though. One teacher’s now-infamous public debate with Christie during a town hall meeting in Raritan has eclipsed 1.35 million views on YouTube.
