Former Gov. Chris Christie, whose lobbying firm was paid $1.3 million last year to represent special interests in the nation’s capital, no longer represents any clients in Washington, Senate filings show.
Christie 55 Solutions LLC filed termination reports for all of its clients after being paid $180,000 by them during the first three months of 2021. It did not file to represent any new clients.
The former governor and his firm did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
While there has been no formal announcement, ending his stint as a Washington lobbyist would remove one of line of attack against Christie should he seek the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, which he has not ruled out.

Former Gov. Chris Christie’s new Washington lobbying firm brought in $1.3 million during its first year in business, according to year-end filings.
Christie’s firm, Christie 55 Solutions LLC, reported nine clients, most of them in the health field and several on coronavirus issues, according to Senate filings and the Center for Responsive Politics.
His lobbying business continued to expand. His eighth client, Novo Nordisk, an international pharmaceutical company whose U.S. headquaters are in Plainsboro, came on board in October. The company paid the Christie firm $120,000 over the last three months of the year to lobby on Medicare prescription drug coverage.
