ABC/ LOU ROCCO(DES MOINES, Iowa) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke in Des Moines, Iowa Monday night to the Dallas County Republicans as part of the Dallas County Spring Speaker Series.
On his 13th trip to the first caucus state, Christie made sure to highlight his record of conservative leadership in a state that leans Democratic.
“Even in a state like mine, one of the 10 most liberal in the country, leadership matters,” Christie said as quoted by The New York Times.
After his address, The Times asked Christie about their story last week detailing his lavish trip with his family to visit King Abdullah of Jordan. Christie answered, “The King and Queen are good friends of ours and I have no second thoughts about it at all.”
