This Week in Politics: Who Can Run the Furthest from Christie?

WNYC News | May 20, 2017

The final gubernatorial debate was held this week in New Jersey. Republican candidates, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, squared off over property taxes and the legacy of Chris Christie. With just over two weeks to go before the primary on June 6, Nancy Solomon, the Managing Editor of New Jersey Public Radio, brings us the latest on the governor's race.

Speaking with host David Furst, Nancy also talks about her report on how New Jersey Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen targeted an activist in a fundraising letter – an action that ultimately led to her resigning her position at Lakeland Bank.
