Quiz: How well do you know Chris Christie?

Unlike some of the contenders in the sprawling field of 2016 Republican presidential candidates, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie requires little introduction.

He's been a national figure for several years, thanks to a pair of high-profile GOP gubernatorial wins in a blue state, a successful tenure as chairman of the Republican Governor's Association, and a candid (some would say combative) approach to retail politicking that has made him a one-man viral video factory.

But long before Christie launched himself into the national political conversation in 2009 by defeating a Democratic incumbent governor of New Jersey, he'd been making a name for himself as a tough-talking prosecutor and lawyer who'd been active in Republican politics for decades.
