TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey youngster shown complaining on a YouTube clip that he can’t be governor of New Jersey can stop crying.

Gov. Chris Christie will sign a proclamation Wednesday making Jesse Koczon the state’s honorary governor for the day.

On the video, the 4-year-old’s mother asked him why he was upset. Jesse replied, “Cause everyone tells me I’m too small to be the governor of New Jersey.”

Christie responded on Twitter: “Don’t worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn’t be Governor, though being too small wasn’t one of them.”
