Also a big thanks to the New Jersey congressional delegation, two dozen legislators, Gov. Chris Christie and cabinet members for joining us in the nation's capital for the dinner and dessert extravaganza.

"I'm glad to be here and I'm glad all of you are here to support the Chamber," Gov. Christie told the audience of 700 CEOs, business owners, politicians, college presidents and directors of nonprofits associations. "The work that we all have to do together for the people of the state is extraordinarily important."

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce invited business people from across the state to ride the Chamber's train to Washington and attend the Congressional Dinner as a way to show support for the state's pro-business agenda.
