Gov. Christie Holds Garwood Councilman's Baby

Baby James Winston, just months old and already a Garwood council meeting regular, now holding court with Governor Christie.

Councilman Jim Mathieu of Garwood interrupted his own Republican Primary campaigning to meet up with Governor Christie at a campaign stop at the Westfield Diner on Saturday, June 1. 

Councilman Mathieu asked the Governor if he wanted to kiss the baby and Christie said he would hold him.

"James Winston had the thrill of being held by our Governor and maybe the future President!" Mathieu's wife Liz tells Patch.
