It’s that time of the year when families descend on Providence to move their college students into dorms, apartments, and houses.

This year, former New Jersey Governor and Republican Presidential candidate Chris Christie is among the ranks, with his son attending Providence College.

GoLocalProv.com caught up with Christie at the University Heights Starbucks in Providence on Thursday, while he was with his family having coffee. 

Not on the table, however, were questions on politics — Christie told GoLocal, “Perhaps another time” — and that his focus was on spending time with his family, before seeing his son off.

He did say however that he will be back in Providence in the fall for parents weekend, and that he looks forward to "going out on Federal Hill."

Seeing as he was spotted wearing a Notre Dame tee shirt — hopefully the former Governor will get some Friar gear while in town. 

About Christie

Christie, a former federal prosecutor and political commentator, served as the 55th Governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018.

In June 2015, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election — before he suspended his candidacy in February 2016. 

He later endorsed eventual winner Donald Trump and was named head of Trump's transition planning team.
