Brian P. Stack & Steven Fulop will NOT support DeGise’s re-election for Hudson County Executive
Union City Mayor & State Senator Brian P. Stack and Jersey City Mayor Steve issued a joint statement saying they will not be supporting Tom DeGise as Hudson County Executive, almost guaranteeing the exit door for DeGise.
“With regard to Hudson County’s next County Executive, we wish to state that we are seeking a new vision that is more closely aligned with our governmental ideals. While we are grateful for County Executive DeGise’s service, we look forward working with new county government leadership that will complement shifts related to a growing and changing population, as well as an increased regional influence. Consequently, we will be supporting a new candidate for that office,” impart read the release.
Tom DeGise, 66, is a former Jersey City council president. He ran for mayor in 2001, but lost the runoff to Glenn Cunningham. He became County Executive in a 2002 special election after Bob Janiszewski’s resignation. DeGise, who has been re-elected four times, says that he will seek re-election to a new term next year no matter what.
Many names are being rumored around, but none confirmed. Most notably mentioned is Freeholder Bill O’Dea.
