New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is heading to Iowa to campaign for Mitt Romney.

He's scheduled to appear at a rally Wednesday at the West Des Moines headquarters of the convenience store Kum & Go.

The appearance comes less than four weeks before the first-in-the-nation caucus on Jan. 3.

Christie endorsed Romney in October, soon after he announced that he would not run for president himself despite being urged to do so by some major fundraisers.
