Monmouth County Residents React to The Republican Candidate For Governor’s Selection of A Running Mate




Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie announced Monday that he has selected Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno as his running mate.

The 50 year old Monmouth Beach resident is married with three children. She became Monmouth County’s first female Sheriff in January 2008. Before that she was a Monmouth Beach commissioner. Guadagno is an attorney who teaches at Rutgers University Law School. She is also a former Assistant United States Attorney and Assistant Attorney General.

Monmouth County residents have mixed reactions to Christie’s pick. One woman says, “I think the best candidate should win, it shouldn't’t matter whether it’s a male or a female just as long as it’s the right person to do the right job for us.” An Asbury Park man says, “I need to know records, I need to know where they stand on issues, I need to know what they are going to do for urban issues.”

Governor Jon Corzine has not said who his running mate will be. He has until next Monday to make that announcement.
This is the first time a Lieutenant Governor is on the ticket in New Jersey.
