Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Steven Fulop announced Tuesday he will not run for a fourth term as mayor of Jersey City in 2025, which ramped up speculation that he plans to run for governor that same year.
In 2016, Fulop was considered by many political observers to be the favorite in the Democratic primary for governor, but he abruptly dropped out of the race 11 months before the vote, which ultimately paved the way for now-Gov. Phil Murphy to win election. But Hale says Fulop has never excelled at retail politics and cited a trip on the annual New Jersey Chamber of Commerce trip to Washington — where attendance is effectively required for anyone running for office in New Jersey.
“He's essentially clearing his dance card for the next three years so that he can go out and shake those hands and try and make those connections,” Hale said.
