slthttp://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20of%20Delaware/56/150/26
Chris Christie, a University of Delaware alumnus, is the Governor of New Jersey. Since his election in 2009, he has been a quickly rising star in the Republican Party of the United States.
Christie was named U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 2002. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in New Jersey, Christie earned praise from leaders in both parties and drew national attention for his efforts in battling political corruption, corporate crime, human trafficking, gangs, terrorism and polluters.
Christie led a widely acclaimed charge against public corruption. Regardless of party affiliation or political influence, when laws were broken, Christie took action. His office racked up an astonishing record – winning convictions or guilty pleas from over 130 public officials – both Republican and Democrat – without losing a single case.

His teaching and research interests center on issues of representation and democracy in America. In particular, I study public opinion, voting behavior, mass political participation, and their effects on government policy. Jones’ current research investigates how American voters hold their Members of Congress accountable for the policy decisions they make.
More info in his short bio.
Professor Jones’ undergraduate education took place at Oxford University, where he was a member of Wadham College. He graduated in 2003 with a BA in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.
After college, he worked for the Equal Opportunities Commission [Comisiwn Cyfle Cyfartal] in Wales. The EOC, which worked on gender equality issues, was disbanded shortly after he left and became part of the new Commission on Equality and Human Rights.
He joined Harvard University’s Department of Government as a graduate student in Fall 2004, and defended he dissertation in Spring 2009. In the Fall of 2009, He joined the University of Delaware’s Political Science and International Relations Department as an Assistant Professor. He is also a faculty member of the new Center for Political Communication at UD.
His research interests include public opinion, campaigns and elections, interest groups, political representation, and democratic accountability. Professor Jones’ current research investigates how American voters hold their Members of Congress accountable for the policy decisions they make.
Here are some examples of his recent work:
“Constituents’ Responses to Congressional Roll Call Voting”. With Stephen Ansolabehere. American Journal of Political Science. 54:3 (2010).
“Politicians are People Too”. In ’The Future of Political Science’, Gary King, Norman Nie and Kay Lehman Schlozman (eds). 2009.
