Mark Zuckerberg To Host Fundraiser For Chris Christie


http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/01/25/mark-zuckerberg-to-host-fundraiser-for-chris-christie/

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg registered to vote in 2002 in Westchester County, New York. However, according to election officials, he didn’t cast a ballot until November 2008. Records at the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters (he moved) indicate he has not voted since. He registered in Santa Clara County as a “decline to state” voter in October 2008.

Zuckerberg and Facebook have been known to be socially liberal, so imagine the shock-waves that went through U.S. liberals when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie spokesperson announced that Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan will be hosting a February 13th fundraising dinner for Christie at their Palo Alto, California home. The Wall Street Journal has reported that this is the first time a fundraiser will be held at Zuckerberg’s residence and the event will be the governor’s first out-of-state fundraising event for his second gubernatorial run.
