Short Hills to Host Christie Super PAC Fundraiser

America Leads, a Super PAC formed in anticipation of Governor Chris Christie’s possible presidential run in 2016, will host a major fundraiser in Short Hills on May 28.

According to the Wall Street Journal, tickets for the event start at $10,000 and go up to $25,000.

An invitation to the event touted Christie’s “strong, conservative leadership in a deep blue state with a Democratic legislature,” the WSJ reported.

Reports have not stated the exact location of the fundraiser.

News of the fundraiser leaked out just a few days after David Wildstein, the Christie-appointed Port Authority official behind the infamous Fort Lee “Bridgegate” traffic jam that served as a political payback scheme, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy. [See related Patch article]
