New Jersey Governor and presidential candidate Chris Christie joined the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives’ annual meeting on December 5th to share an update on his campaign and discuss his ideas for ensuring affordable and reliable energy for all Americans. In addition to remarks about energy Christie focused much of his speech on national security and the skills that our next president must possess to fight terrorism.
“We’re excited to welcome Governor Christie to our annual meeting and provide him with an audience that’s eager to hear more about his vision for the country, especially as it relates to ensuring an adequate supply of safe, reliable, and affordable power for all Americans,” said Tim Coonan, director of government relations for the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives. “Our member-consumers and cooperatives across the state look forward to continuing this conversation with Gov. Christie and the rest of the 2016 candidates in the coming months.”
The Iowa Rural Power project continues to engage presidential candidates in a conversation across the state, at both republican and democratic events, about the need to meet our nation’s long-term electricity demands.
