In his first commercial of the general election, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) casts himself as a bipartisan leader who has accomplished what people said couldn't be done.
In the 30-second spot, which started airing on Thursday, Christie touts his work to enact the state's 2 percent property tax cap and on the state budget, education funding and the economy, along with a passing reference to his relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The ad is part of a $1.5 million, 10-day buy in the New York and Philadelphia media markets, PolitickerNJ.com reported. Christie has consistently led Democratic nominee Barbara Buono, a Middlesex County state senator, by more than 20 points in the polls all year.
