Biography

Michael Drewniak lives in Long Branch, New Jersey and was press secretary for New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie.

Drewniak spent 12 years as a reporter for The Star-Ledger.

In 1998, Drewniak became the principal public information officer for the US Attorney's Office, where he was a spokesman for then-US Attorney Faith Hochberg, a Democrat, now a federal District Court Judge in Newark. He was also a colleague and protege of Stuart J. Rabner, then the First Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of New Jersey, who later went to work for the Gubernatorial administration of Governor Jon Corzine. Rabner is now Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Drewniak, then a registered Democrat, served subsequently for two other U.S. Attorney's, including Christopher Christie, beginning in 2002. Drewniak supported Christie's run for governor, and upon Christie's election, Drewniak became press secretary to the governor.

Drewniak is one of several New Jersey state employees within the governor's office who subpoenaed by the New Jersey Legislature panel investigating the Fort Lee lane closure scandal. Drewniak was also subpoenaed by the United States Attorney's Office, District of New Jersey, and did appear as a fact witness before a federal grand jury. He has never been charged with a crime by law enforcement agencies.
