Christie's first ad: "'Compromise' isn’t a dirty word"

The New Jersey's governor's first ad buy touts his work in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

Published May 1, 2013 3:40PM (EDT)

Chris Christie released his first ad for his 2013 reelection campaign, reportedly part of a $1.5 million buy, touting his handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and responding to backlash he's received from Republicans for his work with and praise of President Obama.

Christie has been “working with Democrats and Republicans. Believing that as long as you stick to your principles, 'compromise' isn’t a dirty word,” the ad says.

”The most important thing he did has little to do with numbers, statistics or even politics. He made us proud to say we we’re from New Jersey,” it continues.
