Convenience store politics: Wawa increases donations to NJ politicians

'A wawa guy’

The chain and the New Jersey Lottery announced with much fanfare a partnership to put self-service Lotto machines in all of its locations in the state. Asked if there was any connection to Wawa’s giving and the partnership, a spokesman for the governor, Kevin Roberts, simply said, “No.”

Still, Christie is partial to Wawa — a fact he made clear in an Oct. 15 debate with Buono.

“I’m a Wawa fan, and I think part of the reason for that is because my wife is from suburban Philadelphia and when we were dating we made frequent stops late in the evening to the Wawa to pick up some snacks,” Christie said. “So I’m a Wawa guy.”
