Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop announced Tuesday he will not run for re-election in 2025, sealing his mayoral career at three terms and further fueling widespread speculation that he is gearing for a 2025 gubernatorial run.

“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.
