Before being elected as the governor, McGreevey, a democrat, served as the mayor of Woodbridge.
At Thursday’s event, the former governor said, “this election isn’t about yesterday or my yesterday. This election is about our tomorrow or future. Clearly, I’ve made mistakes in my life for which I have acknowledged and apologized but I also think God willing that I can give something back.”
“Second chances are central to who I am,” McGreevey wrote on his social media.
Current Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop is running for governor in 2025.
