Republican Governor-elect Chris Christie greets supporters on election night at his headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey. Republican Chris Christie has been elected the next governor of New Jersey, defeating Democrat Jon Corzine to become the first member of his party elected to statewide office in the Garden State in 12 years. Christie won with 49 percent of the vote to Corzine's 44 percent.
Resigning from office in December 2008, Christie filed papers to run for governor in January 2009. Despite a rising tide of uncompromisingly conservative Tea Party activism at the national level, in moderate New Jersey, Christie easily won the primary election against his more conservative Republican rivals.
