Hudson County Executive-elect Craig Guy is endorsing Jim McGreevey for Jersey City mayor, a race that is just shy of two years away.
“Jersey City needs a mayor who has the experience, vision, and passion to make Jersey City a more affordable, safe, and efficient city. I know Jim will put working families first and will fight for the city to remain a place that all can call home,” Guy said in a statement.
McGreevey formally announced his candidacy for the non-partisan November 4th, 2025 mayoral contest one week ago, the first time he’s running for office since resigning from the governor’s office due to an extramarital affair in 2004.
He is also a former state assembly, state senator, and mayor of Woodbridge.
“I am honored to receive Craig Guy’s endorsement and am eager to get to work with him to build a Jersey City where working families can stay and succeed,” McGreevey added.
“Craig understands the importance of affordability and safety in our city, and my administration will work in partnership with the County to improve Jersey City for all working families.”
Hudson County Commissioner Bill O’Dea (D-2) will kickoff his campaign at The View on Saturday, with Council President Joyce Watterman and Ward E Councilman James Solomon also on the early list of mayoral hopefuls.
Other possibilities include Hudson County Commissioner Jerry Walker (D-3) and former Board of Education President Mussab Ali.
