WASHINGTON -- Gov. Chris Christie's brother Todd is one of 15 New Jersey residents added Friday to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's fundraising team.

"Victory finance chairs" were announced in 33 states, including New Jersey, as Trump and the Republican National Committee began raising money for the general election.

The New Jersey list includes two co-chairs of the national finance team for Christie's unsuccessful presidential campaign, Jon Hanson and Finn Wentworth, as well as Warren County Republican Chair Doug Steinhardt and Ocean County Republican Chair George Gilmore.

Other Christie fundraisers also are on the Trump team, including lobbyist David Tamasi. Christie's national finance chairman, Ray Washburne, earlier signed on with Trump.

After largely self-funding his campaign in the primaries, Trump shifted his focus to the general election and formed a joint fundraising committee with the national Republican Party.

Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets, is a vice chair of the joint committee, as is Washburne. Johnson was the national finance chair for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's unsuccessful campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

At the end of May, Trump had just $1.3 million in the bank compared with $42.5 million for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, though the businessman could continue self-funding his campaign.

"Having experienced fundraising and business leaders in place means we are well-prepared for the long fight ahead against Hillary Clinton," said Trump's finance chairman, Steven Mnuchin.
