Video: Chris Christie Endorses Mike Castle

Tonight at the University of Delaware, Governor Chris Christie announced his endorsement of Congressman Mike Castle, candidate for U.S. Senate. Governor Christie and his wife Mary Pat are both University of Delaware graduates.

“Mike understands that our nation’s most urgent priority is the economy and that the path to restoring America’s prosperity requires making tough, responsible decisions,” said Governor Christie. “He is the strong voice that the people of Delaware need in the Senate to get our fiscal house back in order and get Americans back to work.”

Congressman Castle thanked the Governor and said, “Delawareans have a lot of respect for Governor Christie. He is not afraid of tackling the most difficult issues, and knows the importance of shared sacrifice, honesty and straight forwardness.  When I was Governor of Delaware, we balanced 8 budgets while cutting income taxes three times and expanding Delaware’s employment rate– so we share a commitment to smart budgeting and a focus on job creation.  I am honored to have his support and look forward to working with him.”
