Gov. Chris Christie is continuing his public push against drug addiction.
The Republican governor is set to announce new funding for addiction treatment and prevention programs at a press conference Wednesday in Somerset.
The day marks a rare break from the road for Christie, who has been spending most of his days out of town stumping for fellow Republicans in his role as chair of the Republican Governors Association.
He'll meet with women and staff from the Center for Great Expectations before the announcement.
He's also set to appear on 101.5 FM's "Ask the Governor" radio show in the evening. The broadcast starts at 7 p.m.
Christie has made fighting addiction one of his signature issues as he weighs a run for president in 2016.
