Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who resigned in 2004 with the declaration “I am a gay American,” reportedly plans to run for mayor of Jersey City. The Democrat is attempting a comeback two decades after a promising political career crumbled amid a scandal over threats by his alleged lover—who was also his director of homeland security—to sue him for sexual harassment. After the married dad came out, he attended seminary, wrote a memoir, and worked to help former prisoners find jobs. McGreevey is expected to announce his candidacy next week.
