Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey is attempting a political comeback, launching a campaign for mayor of Jersey City — the state’s second-largest city.
McGreevey, who resigned two decades ago in a scandal that made him the first openly gay governor in U.S. history, says his campaign is focused on tackling local challenges such as rising housing costs, job opportunities, and struggling schools.
He’s one of seven candidates running in the nonpartisan race to succeed outgoing Mayor Steven Fulop. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, a runoff election will be held on December 2.
“This isn’t about reliving the past,” McGreevey said. “It’s about second chances and making Jersey City better.”
