Linda McMahon Co-Sponsors Christie PAC Event.
Connecticut Republican favorite Linda McMahon is with Chris Christie. She’s a co-sponsor of a $5,000 a ducat Friday the 13th event for the bumptious New Jersey Republican governor preparing a 2016 bid for president. Mrs. McMahon knows how to move tickets, so the event ought to be a success, despite Christie’s awful week in London and New Jersey.
Christie supporters will gather at the Greenwich home of Tom Foley to show their support for Christie’s Leadership for America Matters. Christie tried to heave the hopeless Foley over the finish line first in his 2014 rematch with Democratic Governor Dannel P. Malloy. Voters decided that Foley (writer, director, micromanager and star of his own campaign) was not the lesser of the two evils facing them on the November ballot. Foley, a Mitt Romney supporter in 2008 and 2012, joins wife Leslie Foley as a co-sponsor of the event.
The 2016 Republican presidential contest will bring fierce competition for generous supporters to leafy Greenwich. Jeb Bush, whose family has roots in the affluent community, met with supporters there last month.
