Tedesco (D) will run for 4th term as Bergen County Excecutive

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco said today that he will seek re-election to an unprecedented fourth term in 2026, and is expected to make a formal announcement at a fundraiser scheduled for this evening.

In a county that hasn’t elected a Republican since 2013, Tedesco is the strong favorite to win another term.

“When I see the progress we’ve made, the projects we’re about to break ground on, and the work still ahead, I know in my heart I’m ready to finish what we started,” said Tedesco. “We’ve built something special here – making public safety a priority, investing in education, keeping our promise to seniors and veterans, and delivering smart, responsible budgets.”

A former Paramus mayor and fire chief, and Bergen County Freeholder, Tedesco will have the backing of Democratic County Chairman Paul Juliano.
