New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is anticipated to announce his 2016 presidential run today. He joins 13 other Republican candidates in the presidential race.

Here are six things to know about Christie:

1) Christie is a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan and has attended more than 130 of Springsteen’s concerts. However, it’s no secret that the governor and the rock star maintain opposing political views. Even so, 48 percent of New Jersey residents think it’s \”kind of cool\” Christie is a Springsteen fan.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

The king-sized bed is soft and deep.

I sleep right in the center groove,

My human beings can hardly moved,

I\’ve trapped their legs, they\’re tucked in tight,

and here is where I pass the night.

 

No one disturbs me or dares intrude,

til morning comes and \”I want food!\”

I sneak up slowly to begin,

and nibble on my human\’s chin.

For morning\’s here, it\’s time to play,

I always seem to get my way.

 

So thank you Lord, for giving me,

This human person that I see,

The one who hugs me and holds me tight,

And shares their bed with me at night.
