Jersey City mayor announces Democratic bid for governor
Steven Fulop, the mayor of Jersey City, N.J., announced his bid on Tuesday to run for governor of the Garden State.
Fulop, who is currently serving his third term as Jersey City’s Democrat mayor, shared his gubernatorial bid in an announcement video.
The footage detailed how the 46-year-old politician left his job in the financial sector to join the Marines in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and included interviews with several veterans that served with him.
The announcement video also highlighted initiatives Fulop pushed as the city mayor, including passing paid sick leave requirements for city workers, raising the minimum wage for the city to $15, and building more affordable housing in the city.
