Jersey City Mayor Fulop Answers Questions As Third Term Begins

JERSEY CITY, NJ — As development sprouts throughout Jersey City's varied neighborhoods, Mayor Steven Fulop, now entering his third term, has major problems to tackle amid the city's popularity.

Hundreds of residents are fighting post-pandemic eviction. Last year saw 24 murders in the state's second-largest city, up from 16 in 2020. And residents are furious over a recent redistricting, or redrawing of ward boundaries.

No mayor of Jersey City has won a third term since the infamous Frank "Boss" Hague in the early 1900s. How does Fulop intend to use his third term?

Fulop gave a brief (very brief) interview last month as he began his new term.

Fulop, a former Marine and former Goldman Sachs employee, is raising his family in Jersey City. He was first elected to the Jersey City council in 2005.
