Ex-Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly of ‘Bridgegate’ scandal makes run for local office
Fox News
Bridget Anne Kelly, the former aide to ex-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, says she is "going to the taxpayers to ask them to hire" her, following her legal exculpation in the yearslong Bridgegate scandal.
The former Christie aide caught national attention in 2013 for her alleged involvement in the Fort Lee traffic jam – a political scandal where she, along with two other political staffers, were convicted of purposefully blocking traffic in retribution against the town’s Democratic mayor, Mark Sokolich, who did not support Christie’s reelection. Kelly, who sent the infamous email that said, "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," was originally sentenced to 13 months. But her conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court.More Related News
