MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) — His popularity surging because of his handling of Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie announced Monday he will seek a second term so he can continue leading the state through an expected long recovery effort.
"The people need to know I'm in this for the long haul," he said at a news briefing in Middletown, where he had come to thank first responders and volunteers.
