Moorestown Resident Named to Christie's National Finance Team

Handling finances on the presidential campaign trail is a tall order, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has assembled a team of 84 leaders from around the country to help him do just that.

Christie’s campaign for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, which kicked off in late June, has tapped a national finance chairman in Ray Washburne, from Dallas, Texas, a 10-member team of co-chairs, and 73 other leadership members.

Of the total, seven members are from New Jersey, including a prominent South Jersey businessman.

Moorestown resident Frank Giordano, a Rutgers University graduate and President of Atlantic Trailer Leasing Corporation, was among those named to the leadership team Wednesday morning.

Christie named Jon F. Hanson, of Far Hills, and Finn Wentworth, of Mendham, as co-chairs. Both were recently named to njbiz.com’s 50 wealthiest New Jersey residents list having made their fortunes in real estate.

Joining them on the list from New Jersey:

• Fred Alworth, Randolph, NJ
• Honorable Jeff Chiesa, Branchburg, NJ
• Honorable Mike Ferguson, New Providence, NJ
• Jerry Langer, Montville, NJ

Atlantic Trailer Leasing Corporation has been in the Giordano Family since 1949. Giordano is also a member of the Corielli Institute For Medical Research’s Board of Trustees,

He is currently the Chairman of the Board of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra and Studio Incamminati and has served on boards for The Mann Center for the Performing Arts and is a past Chairman of the Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey/Philadelphia and the Salvation Army New Jersey State Advisory Board.

He is also Chairman of the Abraham Lincoln Foundation and a director for the West Jersey Chamber Music Society. He is also a consultant to the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament, and was the 64th President of the Union League of Philadelphia.

He helped expand his family’s trailer business while attending Rutgers, growing the business from two in 1968 to 800 by 1972, according to the University.

In November, he received a Civic Leadership Award from the League of Women Voters.
