"Former NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey seeks political redemption with Jersey City mayoral run"

Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, who resigned in 2004 after coming out as gay and disclosing an extramarital affair, has announced his bid to run for mayor of Jersey City in 2025. McGreevey's campaign video emphasizes his journey as a seminary student and his work with prisoner re-entry. Despite facing questions about his past scandal, McGreevey believes he can defend himself and wants to focus on providing opportunities for working families and improving the community. Other Democrats, including Hudson County Commissioner Bill O'Dea and Councilman James Solomon, are also expected to run for mayor.
