Perhaps no one got a better bird’s-eye view of the destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy than former Gov. Chris Christie, who became the face of the recovery effort in New Jersey and the region. The storm was a defining moment in Christie’s political career. He toured the damage with former President Barack Obama and survivors alike, owning his role as “consoler in chief.”
In the years since then, his administration received both praise and admonishment for the policies it put forward in the rebuild. Christie appeared on this week’s episode of Chat Box, where he reflected on preparing for and responding to a natural disaster worse than any other in New Jersey’s history.
