TV movie about a good politician trying to un-corrupt a NY/NJ town?? Perhaps an Italian-named actor? Can't recall name [View all]

I think he either was murdered or killed himself.

I don't know why this is on my mind! I tried some of the AI movie finders and no luck.

In the last 5 years or so? I THINK it may be based on a true story.

THANK YOU!
