She's known for her unknownness.
Has she happened to deny Zimmer's charge?

For a woman whos only a heartbeat, or a presidential campaign, away from the governorship of New Jersey, not much is known about Kim Guadagno.
For the past four years, the lieutenant governor has cultivated an image as a staunch adjutant to Gov. Chris Christie, appearing dutifully -- but silently -- at his side at press conferences but leaving voters without much of a clue as to who she is or what she does.
Advisories for her appearances at ribbon cuttings, awards presentations, and school visits routinely state that the events are open to the press but that there is no availability, meaning she wont take questions from reporters....more

The cameras are for for the Governor only.

(15,596 posts)Despite her low-profile, Guadagno has made some missteps. In 2011, Guadagno alienated some members of the states arts community by saying that the New Jersey State Council on the Arts had improperly awarded $300,000 worth of contracts for public art projects.
The councils former executive director, Steve Runk, resigned after Guadagno called for his dismissal. Runk, who now works for Princeton University, declined to comment on the events, saying only that he didnt want to relive the terrible things that were done. But Guadagnos accusations never came to anything after a state investigation. Many in the arts community believe that Runk was unfairly demonized and damaged for reasons unknown.

From your link..
.."The debate, on October 11, was Guadagnos best chance to raise her public profile. She highlighted the fact that she has spent the last four years heading up economic development and offering tax incentives to businesses to set up or expand in New Jersey."
But, now the question is HOW did she go about her business "heading up economic development" in NJ?

Seems Ms Nice Unknown isn't always so nice. Kinda like a velvet enforcer with a smile. Creepiest kind.
