Gov. Chris Christie's aligned super political action committee is on the air in New Hampshire again
WASHINGTON -- The super political action committee backing Gov. Chris Christie's presidential campaign is out with a new ad attacking the Republicans who control Congress.
The ad is the sixth one airing in New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary and the state where Christie must do well in order to continue his quest for the White House.
The ad features footage of Christie speaking at two town halls in New Hampshire, criticizing the Republicans' inability to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which has provided health insurance to millions of Americans; and eliminating federal funding for health-care services provided by Planned Parenthood.

"They told us if we have a Republican House and a Republican Senate, well, man, are you going to see us take on the president of the United States then," Christie says in the ad."They're not getting the job done," Christie says in the ad. "And they need a president who's going to drag them to it."
Christie has relied on the aligned super-PAC to run advertisements as his campaign committee fundraising lags behind many of his opponents.
The super PAC also is running an online ad in both Iowa and New Hampshire featuring Christie's complaint during Wednesday's third presidential debate that the CNBC moderators asked the candidates about daily fantasy sports.
The Christie campaign also is trying to cash on the governor's performance in the debate, following his performance with back-to-back fundraising pitches.
First, campaign manager Ken McKay sent out an e-mail seeking donations as he called Christie the only candidate in the debate "who can take on Hillary Clinton next November and lead our great nation as our next president."
Then Christie told perspective donors in another e-mail solicitation: "Republicans need someone tough enough, strong enough, and tested enough to take on Hillary Clinton next fall, and I'm your candidate."
