Whitman, Christine Todd, 1946-
Christine Todd Whitman (born September 26, 1946) is an American Republican politician and author who served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey, from 1994 to 2001, and as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003. She is the first and only woman to be governor of New Jersey, to date.
Born Christine Temple Todd in New York City, Whitman grew up on her family's farm, Pontefract, in Oldwick, New Jersey. As a child she attended Far Hills Country Day School before being sent to boarding school at Foxcroft in Virginia. Christine disliked being so far away from home and after a year transferred to the Chapin School in Manhattan, allowing her to return home on the weekends. After graduating from Wheaton College in 1968, earning a bachelor of arts degree in government, she worked for Nelson Rockefeller's presidential campaign. During the Nixon administration, Whitman worked for the Office of Economic Opportunity under Donald Rumsfeld. Later elected to two terms on the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders, she served as deputy director and director of the board. From 1988 to 1990, she served as president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities under governor Thomas Kean. She was the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in New Jersey in 1990, losing narrowly to incumbent Bill Bradley.
