Steven Fulop announced he's not going to seek reelection for mayor of Jersey City but has eyes on a much larger job in Jersey politics.
"The forward momentum happening in Jersey City is undeniable, and while there is much more work to be done I feel confident that new leaders can build on the foundation we have built while charting their own unique path forward," Fulop said.
He went on to be elected as mayor in 2013 and re-elected in 2017 by the most significant margin in the history of Jersey City with 78% of the votes."I first ran for elected office in Jersey City when I came back from serving abroad in the Marine Corps because I believed that I had something different to offer both as a leader and as a public servant, Fulop said. "I could not be more proud of the progress that our community has made since then.
"I've decided that I won't be on the ballot again as mayor," Fulop said. "It's time to let someone else lead this special city, and for me to really think about what I want to do next."
