Watch for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in town next month. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will host a fundraiser for Christie at his Palo Alto home on Feb. 13.

Back in 2010, Zuckerberg pledged $100 million to Newark's public schools. In the years since, he and the governor have cultivated a friendship.

 The Associated Press quoted Christie,"He picked up the phone unsolicited and asked what he could do to help. He offered to do a fundraiser...Yes sir. What time? Happy to come."
