Steve Fulop Runs for New Jersey Governor in 2025.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for New Jersey governor in 2025. Fulop, who has led the city for 10 years, is the only major candidate to formally announce his run so far. He has cited his experience as a Marine and his policies in Jersey City, including paid sick leave requirements and a $15 minimum wage for city workers, as evidence of his ability to take on difficult challenges and improve people's lives. Fulop's announcement comes two years before the Democratic primary, and he is expected to face a crowded field of potential candidates.
