Jim McGreevey, who resigned as New Jersey's governor over two decades ago after a highly publicized scandal, is making a political comeback by running for mayor of Jersey City. McGreevey is one of seven candidates seeking to replace the outgoing mayor, focusing his campaign on issues like rising housing costs, employment challenges for young people, and underperforming schools. While some opponents have criticized his past conduct and questioned his suitability, McGreevey emphasizes his commitment to addressing current city concerns and providing better services. Having spent years working in nonprofit roles and reflecting on his time away from politics, McGreevey frames his candidacy as a bid for redemption and a chance to serve his hometown once again.
