Video of Governor Christie’s 2014 inauguration ceremony in Trenton
Live coverage of the 2014 inauguration of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. Today marks the beginning of the second term for the Christie/Guagagno Republican administration. Democrats remain in control of both the New Jersey Assembly and Senate. The events begin at 11:30 a.m. with the swearing-in of the Governor scheduled at noon.
Republican Gov Christie is considered a likely 2016 presidential candidate and if that happens Christie would likely leave the governor’s position early to campaign. In that event, Lt. Governor Kim Guagdagno, also a Republican, would serve as governor for the remainder of this term, which ends in January 2018.
A powerful snow storm is hitting New Jersey today and as a result tonight’s post-inaugural party on Ellis Island has been cancelled. According to a statement by the 2014 Inaugural Committee, the money raised from the $500 per person event will go to charities.
We thank all of our supporters for their generosity that will enable us to continue giving back to our charitable partners – Save Ellis Island, New Jersey Heroes, and the New Hope Baptist Church.
