Popular Jersey City Mayor Announces Run for New Jersey Governorship in 2025

Steven Fulop, the current mayor of Jersey City, announced his bid to run for governor of New Jersey in the 2025 election.
As mayor, Fulop has raised the minimum wage, passed paid sick leave, and built affordable housing during his time in office.
Fulop is the first Democrat to announce a run for governor, with former Republican assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli also planning to run.
New Jersey has more registered Democrats but has elected several Republican governors recently, presenting challenges for Fulop's campaign.
