- CJ's politics:
- CJ does not have an opinion on capital punishment [1.14] and she strongly supports tougher penalties for hate-motivated crimes [1.10].
- Oddly, she is the "wrong Democrat" to talk to about affirmative action [3.12].
- Toby says that CJ doesn't like running for office because it takes time out from helping [4.6].
- CJ supports sending American troops to stop atrocities in other countries, because those are somebody's kids too [4.15].
- CJ's quirks:
- CJ sometimes calls her coworkers by strange nicknames -- Leo is "Leopold" [2.3]; Sam is "Sparky" [2.2]; Toby is "Tobus" [3.0]; Josh is "mi amor" [2.3]; and Charlie is "Chaz" [3.14]. She refers to Toby, Josh, and Sam as "my spin boys" [2.17]. She calls Admiral Fitzwallace, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, "Sailor" [4.3].
- CJ's laptop quacks when she receives email [3.5].
- She tends to be self-conscious about the size of her neck [1.4], especially after she learned that her Secret Service code name is "Flamingo," which is, in her opinion, "a ridiculous looking bird" [1.10].
- CJ likes Goldfish (the crackers) and is the proud owner of an actual goldfish named Gail, given to her by Danny [1.9].
- CJ dislikes dentists and had to have an emergency root canal [1.15].

- CJ once wrote Davy Jones a fan letter and he wrote back [2.12].
- Lord John Marbury calls her "Princepessa" [2.12].
- CJ seems to have some trouble with bodies of water -- while attending a party fundraiser in Malibu (and while wearing a Donna Karan dress), CJ was pushed into Larry Posner's swimming pool by Roberto Benigni [1.5]; not long before that, she fell into her own pool at home in the Hollywood Hills because she didn't have her contacts in [2.2]; and CJ was once dumped by an unnamed ex-boyfriend after she accidentally drove his Porsche into a pond [1.18].
- CJ has a cat [1.5]. Then again, CJ doesn't have a cat [3.15]. She thinks it's possible that an ancient Egyptian cat goddess named Bast put a curse on her [2.17].

- She likes beer but has also been known to order grasshoppers [1.6]. Sometimes she and Donna go out for yogurt [3.19]. CJ can't cook [2.17], though she offered to cook Christmas Dinner for Leo [1.10]. She was later invited to spend Thanksgiving with Toby, Josh, and Sam -- though there may have been an ulterior motive, since they asked if she could cook [2.8].
- Her first Thanksgiving in the White House, CJ was sent home with a 101.7 degree fever and flu-like symptoms [2.9]. She spent her second White House Thanksgiving with Eric and Troy -- two turkeys [2.8] -- and her third attempting to defuse a possible PR problem with two Muncie Indians who refused to move from the White House lobby [3.7]
- CJ drives a baby blue '65 Mustang convertible [3.20]
- CJ has faith in humans, in the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, and the idea that an egg can stand on its end at the moment of the vernal equinox [4.20].
- CJ and sports:
- CJ tries to work out at the gym from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., and considers it "her" time [1.1]. She also has a Life Cycle in her office [2.4].
