DescriptionGov. Chris Christie is running for re-election.

Christie adviser Michael DuHaime confirmed that the governor’s campaign treasurer filed paperwork with the Election Law Enforcement Commission today to begin his 2013 campaign.

“He’s made his decision and wanted to make sure as soon as he did he would let people know,” said DuHaime. “He’s instructed us to get the ball rolling on re-election.”

There is no shortage of potential Democratic challengers to Christie, but the field remains frozen as they await a decision from the top contender: Newark Mayor Cory Booker.

If Booker runs, most believe he clears the field. If not, it could be a crowded, bitter, family feud. Many names surface, including Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester); former Gov. Richard Codey, a state senator from Essex County; Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald (D-Camden); State Sen. Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex); EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson; Democratic State Chairman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex); and U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6th Dist.).
