Mark Zuckerberg's Chris Christie Fundraiser Marks CEO's First Major Foray Into Politics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will host a fundraiser next month in his Palo Alto home for Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, both camps confirmed to BuzzFeed.
Christie, who is up for reelection this year, first met Zuckerberg in 2010, when the Silicon Valley billionaire donated $100 million to Newark public schools. But the backing from Facebook's chairman and chief executive offers far more than money: It is a mark of how Christie, almost alone among his party, has emerged as the sort of natural figure who can cut deep into traditionally Democratic constituencies, like powerful young tech magnates.
What also makes this fundraiser notable is that this is the very first known political fundraising activity by Zuckerberg. Aside from the opening contribution to Facebook's political action committee, the 28-year-old has not made a publicly disclosed political contribution in his life and is not known to have held a fundraiser for any other politician.
Zuckerberg's wealth, estimated at $9.4 billion, puts him in the stratosphere of political donors -- people such as casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hedge fund manager George Soros and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who can fund any form of political effort they so please. His decision to aid a Republican will certainly focus attention on his heretofore undisclosed political allegiances.
According to the Buzzfeed report, Zuckerberg's interest in Christie stems from the governor's "education reform" proposals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which include the expansion of charter schools. This puts Zuckerberg well in the mainstream of billionaire tech executives like Bill Gates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who pump millions of dollars into efforts to encourage charter schools and put pressure on teachers' unions.
Christie had previously fought with teachers' unions in New Jersey, but reached an agreement with them in late 2012 that included merit pay and performance evaluation for teachers. He has since praised American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying, "We found that boulevard of compromise that exists, between compromising your principles -- which neither of us would ever do -- and getting everything you want, which you're never going to get."
"It's Not My Time" (3 Doors Down)(Oct. (Oct. (Dec. 7, 2011) -- At a local town hall, Christie did not take kindly to a constituent's question about how his administration conducts these types of meetings. He showed the individual little mercy, going "if I plant questions, why the hell did I call on you?"
"Can You Feel The Love Tonight" (Elton John)(Dec. 8, 2011) -- Occupy Wall Street protesters interrupted Christie during an appearance in Iowa, making him a target of the movement's "mic check" trend.
"Shut Up" (The Black Eyed Peas)(Feb. 21,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2012) -- In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Christie had some choice words for Warren Buffett,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], surrounding the billionaire investor's desire to be taxed at a higher rate. "Just write a check and shut up," he remarked.
"American Idiot" (Green Day)(March 9,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2012) -- Christie argued with a former Navy SEAL over the New Jersey's plans to reconfigure public universities. The result? Some fire from the governor's tongue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as he called the veteran an "idiot."
"Call Me Maybe" (Carly Rae Jepsen)(April 13, 2012) -- Throughout Mitt Romney's run for the White House,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Christie made it known that he was open to a vice presidential nod (should Romney ask him).
"Rocky Ground" (Bruce Springsteen)(April 19,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2012) -- Christie vehemently denied reports that he was sleeping at a Bruce Springsteen concert in New York City.
"I Don't Really Care" (Waka Flocka Flame)(April 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2012) -- Christie responded to jokes comedian Jimmy Kimmel made about his weight at the 2012 White House Correspondents Dinner, throwing Sofia Vergara into the mix. "I figured I was in the zone of danger," he said.
"Ready Or Not" (The Fugees)(Aug. 14, 2012) -- After entertaining the idea of running for president and making Mitt Romney's short list of VP candidates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Christie was named the keynote speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention. "I'll try to tell some very direct and hard truths to people in the country about the trouble that we're in and the fact that fixing those problems is not going to be easy for any of them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he told USA Today.
