Chris Christie’s political action committee has attracted a core of powerful donors, and allies said Thursday that they have formed a super-PAC that could raise unlimited amounts to support a possible presidential run.
Phil Cox, former executive director of the Republican Governors Association, said he established the super-PAC, America Leads. Cox is also senior adviser for Leadership Matters for America, a political action committee that Christie formed in January to expand his visibility.
