BELLE MEAD -- Gov. Chris Christie revealed Wednesday he plans to focus some of his time on drug addiction and recovery efforts after he leaves office in January 2018.

The governor described his desire to remain active with non-profit organizations that treat people fighting drug addiction. He made the comment during an hour-long roundtable discussion at such a facility, Carrier Clinic.
