NEW JERSEY'S GOVERNOR CAMPAIGNS FOR KING

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE WAS IN SIOUX CITY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, CAMPAIGNING FOR REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN STEVE KING.

KING WAS NOT AT HIS FUNDRAISER, AS HE HAD RETURNED TO WASHINGTON TO FIGHT FOR PASSAGE OF A FARM BILL. CHRISTIE TOLD SUPPORTERS HE HAD THE CONGRESSMAN'S BACK WHILE KING WAS IN WASHINGTON.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS IT'S CRITICAL THAT REPUBLICANS WIN THE PRESIDENCY AND KEEP CONTROL OF THE U.S. HOUSE BECAUSE FOUR MORE YEARS OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WOULD MEAN "WE THE GOVERNMENT" INSTEAD OF "WE THE PEOPLE":

THE FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR SAID HE FIRST MET KING AT A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING WHEN CHRISTIE WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR AND BEING TAKEN TO TASK FOR HIS PROSECUTION OF A COMPANY INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL BUSINESS DEALINGS:



CHRISTIE SAYS HE GOT BEHIND MITT ROMNEY EARLY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND THAT REPUBLICANS NEED TO FULLY UNITE BEHIND HIM:



CHRISTIE SPOKE FOR AROUND A HALF HOUR AT THE EVENT HOSTED AT BEV'S ON THE RIVER.
