Linares Lands Bridgegate Governor.

State Senator Art Linares (R-Westbrook) picks up the endorsement of the remarkably unpopular former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. The loudmouth bully left office office at the beginning of this year at the end of a calamitous second term as governor. A notable achievement of Christie’s final years in office is that he competed with Dannel P. Malloy for the painful distinction of the nation’s most unpopular governor.

Christie’s record addressing New Jersey’s troubled pension fund may be something Linares should avoid.

Linares lost the Republican nomination for state treasurer to Thad Gray at May’s party convention. The two meet in Tuesday’s primary.
