New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie meets with House Republicans in Washington

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is introducing himself to Washington lawmakers as he considers jumping into the presidential contest.


Christie attended a meet-and-greet with House Republicans on Capitol Hill early Wednesday morning.


Attendees at the event said he spoke about a range of issues, including national security and the economy. They said he also encouraged members to pass legislation, even if they don't believe the president will sign it.


Christie was in town to attend the swearing-in of Maryland's new Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Christie introduced Larry Hogan on Wednesday before Hogan delivered his inaugural address outside the statehouse in Annapolis.


Christie said Hogan will work to help people keep more of the money they earn. Christie also said he likes Hogan because he's blunt and direct but also able to bring people together.


The appearance marked the last stop of Christie's victory tour celebrating candidates he helped elect in his former role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.


Hogan was one of the most unexpected winners.
