FAIR LAWN – Gov. Chris Christie stopped for a moment during a Wednesday campaign stop in Bergen County to bluntly state why incumbent State Sen. Bob Gordon (D – Bergen) should be ousted from his seat.
“He’s an obstructionist and has not been willing to be bipartisan in any way,” Christie said immediately after speaking to more than 100 people at the Fair Lawn Senior Center and before continuing his statewide bus tour. “And anything he says to the contrary is just opportunist.”
Christie’s comments came after the governor called on Legislative District 38 voters to vote for the GOP slate, led by Oradell attorney Fernando Alonso. The Bergen-based district is one of a targeted handful that Christie is focused on in the final days of the campaign in his push to put the state Senate in Republican hands.
