New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has formed a political action committee called Leadership Matters for America as he prepares for a likely presidential campaign, adviser Mike DuHaime said Monday.

The move comes days after Christie attended the last inauguration of a governor he helped elect as chairman of the Republican Governors Association, and gives him a new political platform to travel and fundraise.
