Chris Christie for President Releases First TV Ad "Leadership"

Chris Christie for President Releases First TV Ad - "Leadership"

Morristown, NJ - Today, Chris Christie for President, Inc. released their first television ad, "Leadership." The ad highlights Governor Christie's unscripted announcement remarks on the need to restore strong leadership in this country.


Transcript:
Leadership matters. It matters for our country. And American leadership matters for the world.
But if we’re going to lead, we have to stop worrying about being loved and start caring about being respected again.
I am not looking to be the most popular guy, who looks in your eyes everyday and tries to figure out what you want to hear, say it, and then turn around and do something else.
I mean what I say, and I say what I mean. And that’s what America needs right now.
I’m Chris Christie and I approve this message.
