Christie endorses pal Kyrillos for US Senate
Gov. Chris Christie has wasted no time endorsing longtime friend Joe Kyrillos (KIR’-ill-ohs) for a U.S. Senate seat in New Jersey.
Christie made it official while campaigning with the GOP state senator in Union County this week. The governor says New Jersey “would be extraordinarily well-served” if residents were represented by Kyrillos in Washington.
The 51-year-old is seeking the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic incumbent Bob Menendez in November. Menendez is better known and better financed, having amassed nearly $7 million for the race. (Delli Santi, Assocaited Press)
