New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie turned down several jobs in the Trump administration because his wife refused to move to Washington, the governor said Wednesday.
Speaking on New York radio station WFAN’s “Boomer and Carton” program, Christie said that influenced his decision on accepting any of the positions offered by Republican President-elect Donald Trump.
“He didn’t offer me a job that I thought was exciting enough for me to leave the governorship and my family,” Christie said. “Because Mary Pat made really clear she wasn’t coming to D.C.”
The Republican governor said he would have made at least a two-year commitment to be there.
Two of the couple’s four children live at home and are in high school.
Christie is in the final full year of his second and last term as governor.
Trump on Monday told The Wall Street Journal, “at some point, we’re going to do something with Chris.”

She was afraid to get stuck on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, no doubt.
It’s pathetic that a Governor would go on that radio show. Carton is the Lowest of the Low!
He was really hoping to head up the office at the Food & Drug Administration responsible for promoting a healthy diet and minimizing the sale of junk foods. Trump wisely determined that he wouldn’t have much credibility given his status as a poster-child for morbid obesity.
Summer heat in Washington DC area is far more brutal, so I fully sympathize with Mary Pat.
