Gov. Chris Christie is once again scheduled to give a Washington D.C. keynote address when the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce takes its annual “Walk to Washington” in February.

The governor, who’s delivered the keynote during the annual event nearly every year since taking office, will speak on Feb. 19, said Michael Egenton, senior vice president of the state Chamber of Commerce.

“We’re really privileged to have him,” Egenton said.

The event is a yearly tradition where state lawmakers, chief executives, entrepreneurs, small business owners and nonprofit leaders board a train — often dubbed the “schmooze cruise” — from New Jersey to Washington D.C.

The two-day event is entering its 78th year.
