Candidate in race for Governor on Tuesday, June 10, 2025
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said he’s been a longtime supporter of homegrow for medicinal and recreational purposes. Nearly a dozen dispensaries are open in his city, though Fulop has earned the ire of some cannabis advocates by moving to fire police officers who test positive for marijuana, despite a state attorney general’s order saying cops are legally allowed to use cannabis while off duty.
“He believes the state’s cannabis industry must move toward a more competitive and accessible market and sees strong state leadership as key to improving access, ensuring fair pricing and strengthening the industry as a whole,” said Fulop campaign spokeswoman Emily Potoma. (3/24/25)
