But before he was U.S. attorney, Christie was a registered Statehouse lobbyist who, at times, even worked to further positions at odds with what he now espouses on the campaign trail. Among his firm's clients was the Securities Industry Association, a trade organization for Wall Street.
Christie's firm lobbied against some bills supporting school choice programs -- including one that would have required the state to help pay to send children to charter schools -- while favoring other school choice proposals, the records show. On the campaign trail, Christie has promoted state-funded vouchers that students in failing schools could use to pay tuition at private schools or at public schools in other communities. He also says he wants more charter schools to open in the cities.
The firm also lobbied on behalf of GPU to try to deregulate New Jersey's electric and gas industry, and on behalf of the Securities Industry Association to block securities fraud from being included under the state's Consumer Fraud Act.
