Originally from Dayton, Ohio, C.J. earned a Master's Degree from UC Berkeley; her undergraduate major and institution have never been disclosed. She was making $550,000 a year for her work at a prominent California public relations firm before coming to work for Bartlet's 1998 presidential campaign for $600 a week ($31,200 a year). Coincidentally, she was fired from that job on the same day that Toby Ziegler came to California to ask her to join the Bartlet campaign. Toby was impressed by the work C.J. had done at EMILY's List. As White House Press Secretary, C.J. was sharp, well-spoken and witty. She was less than pleased to discover that her Secret Service codename was "Flamingo", a bird which C.J. described as being "ridiculous-looking".

During the third season, C.J. received a series of death threats, which led to her being placed under the protection of Secret Service agent Simon Donovan (played by Mark Harmon), with whom she became romantically involved. Shortly after going off-duty, Donovan was shot and killed after becoming caught up in the armed robbery of a New York City grocery store in the episode "Posse Comitatus". C.J. has also had a long on-again, off-again flirtation with The Washington Post's White House correspondent Danny Concannon, although C.J. felt that they could not date because it would be a conflict of interest.
