From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Gov.-elect Christopher J. Christie yesterday reached across the political aisle – but stayed within his professional circle – as he nominated a Democratic prosecutor to be his attorney general.
If confirmed by the Senate, Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow would take on one of the biggest roles in the new Republican administration.
Dow, who was raised in Yeadon, Delaware County, and went to law school at the University of Pennsylvania, is Christie’s first cabinet nominee, underlining the importance of the position and, according to the governor-elect, his commitment to finding the best staff members, regardless of party.
