Mayor for the Day!

Have a TECCS student experience what it means to be a Mayor of Jersey City for a day!

A wonderful gift from a parent, grandparent or family friend to get a TECCS student excited about understanding how local government works.

An adult must accompany the current TECCS student for this experience.

 On May 14, 2013, Mayor Fulop beat sitting mayor Jerramiah T. Healy by 15 percentage points, 53%–38%, to become the 49th Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. Fulop took office on July 1, 2013 with a vision to make Jersey City the "best mid-sized city in the country". Due to a healthy population growth rate combined with a significant increase in residential construction, Fulop has asserted that Jersey City will overtake Newark, New Jersey, to become the largest city in New Jersey, possibly as early as late 2016.
 
 In May 2009, Fulop was re-elected for a second term with 63% of the vote. In 2012, the Hudson Reporter named him #4 in its list of Hudson County's 50 most influential people.
