McGreevey says he'll serve just one term, focus on delivering results, not politics and fundraising

Promising to focus his time on governing and not politics, former Gov. James E. McGreevey pledged to serve just a single four-year term if he wins the December 2 runoff election and becomes the next mayor of Jersey City.

“I’m not running to build a political career, I’m running to fix the city I love,” said McGreevey. “For four years, I’ll focus on the fundamentals: cleaner streets, safer neighborhoods, better schools, stronger senior services, and a city government that actually works for working families.”

McGreevey, 68, is betting that voters might prefer a mayor driven by filling potholes, repairing sewers, and balancing budgets than one who is looking to get re-elected.

“At the end of four years, I’ll go back to the work I love at the Reentry Corporation, helping people rebuild their lives. I’ll spend more time being a better father to my daughters, and hopefully a good grandfather to my future grandson,” he said. “This isn’t about ambition. It’s about service, and about leaving Jersey City stronger, cleaner, and fairer than we found it.”
