Career
He is the author of two books, and an occasional guest on various cable news programs. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at George Washington University and Haverford College. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Christie Strategies, a communications and issue management firm that he founded in Alexandria, Virginia.
"Ron" Christie is a native of Palo Alto, California.
He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Haverford College and a Juris Doctor degree from the George Washington University National Law Center. At the beginning of his career, he served as counsel to Senator George Allen of Virginia and as senior advisor to former House Budget Committee Chairman and future Governor of Ohio John Kasich.
He began working at the White House in 2001, as deputy assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney for domestic policy, advising him on health care, budget, tax and other policy areas. Later that year, he was elected to the Council on Foreign Relations.
In 2002, he joined the staff of the President, serving as a Special Assistant to George West. Bush until 2004.
Christie was selected by Bush to lead an American delegation to an international conference on volunteerism and civic engagement hosted by Prime Minister Tony Blair in London. After leaving the Bush administration, Christie began serving as an Adjunct Professor of Strategic Advocacy at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management. He has also authored two books, and has worked as a columnist for The Hill.
He is also an occasional guest on Cable News Network and Microsoft and National Broadcasting Company, and a panelist on National Public Radio.
Christie was critical of the Republican National Committee"s activities under Chairman Michael Steele, telling Editor Schultz of Microsoft and National Broadcasting Company on his show in April 2010 that he was "not happy about the leadership that we have seen out of the Republican National Committee in the last 16 to 18 months. I"m not happy about lieutenant
Otherwise, I think perhaps the clock in the back of his head in his office might be ticking".
Politics
He also teaches a course on strategic advocacy at his alma mater, Haverford College, where he has been appointed a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science.. The leadership starts at the top, and I think that Chairman Michael Steele is on a very short leash, he has a very, very narrow opportunity to show that he can raise the money, that he can be a strong leader for the party.
