Monday, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie provided a keynote address to attendees at NAFCU’s 2022 Congressional Caucus. Christie focused his remarks on the state of politics in the United States ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, which will be held on November 8, 2022.
Introduced by NAFCU’s Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Greg Mesack, Christie honed in on his previous experience as Governor and his time in National politics over the years.
Following Sunday’s 21st anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Christie opened his remarks discussing his own experience from that day and reminded attendees to never forget the importance of our Nation’s safety and security.
