He is the first major Democratic candidate to enter the race to succeed Gov. Phil Murphy.
Fulop, a 46-year-old former U.S. Marine who has served three terms as mayor of New Jersey’s second-largest city, said in a statement his career “has always been guided by a strong desire to take on difficult challenges and find solutions that help improve peoples’ lives.”
“And now I’m running for governor to bring those same values to Trenton,” Fulop added. “I’m launching my campaign now because I believe that New Jersey can become an even better place for all of us, and I will be sharing my vision over the coming months for how we will make it happen. I’ve never backed down from a fight before, and I’m ready to work hard for all the people of our great state to deliver the results New Jersey deserves.
Fulop was considered a likely candidate for governor in 2017 but ultimately decided not to run. Murphy ended up winning.
