Disgraced Democratic Former NJ Governor Launches Comeback In Mayoral Bid

Former NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey
  • Former Democratic New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey will announce his political comeback next Thursday, when he’ll publicly declare that he’s running for mayor of Jersey City, a member of his campaign staff told The Post.
  • McGreevey, 66, has been out of politics for nearly 20 years, ever since his 2004 resignation from the Garden State governorship after coming clean about a secret extramarital affair with a male staffer.
  • The former governor’s opportunity to re-enter politics opened in April, when his hometown mayor, Steven Fulop, announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election in Jersey City and would instead run to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in 2025.
