5 Year Old Jesse Gets His Wish: Governor of New Jersey (For a Day)

And just like a politician, his twin brother Brandon, appointed lt. guv, hogs the microphone and tries to butt in!

It's great to have a good news follow-up to this Mike's America story from last week. In 2009, then four year old Jesse Koczon couldn't stop crying when he was told he was too small to be Governor of New Jersey. Today, Jesse's size was swept aside as Governor Christie signed a proclamation naming Jesse honorary governor for the day and his twin named lt. governor.

The press conference with Governor Christie is priceless:

With Christie's Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno standing behind Brandon, Governor Christie joked about her standin's performance: “I’ve never said … this before: Someone control the lieutenant governor,” Christie said.

These two kids were anything but shy with a room full of cameras and reporters! As long as Jesse rethinks his idea to raise property taxes he and his brother may very well have a future in politics!
