Background

Steve Fulop has been serving as the Mayor of Jersey City since 2013. In January 2023, he announced he would not seek re-election for a fourth term in 2025, leading to speculation about his future political ambitions. In April 2023, Fulop declared his candidacy for the 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election. (newjerseymonitor.com) In June 2025, he was defeated in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

  • Political Landscape: The political environment between 2026 and 2030, including election outcomes and party dynamics, could impact Fulop's decisions regarding running for other public offices.
