Fulop Clobbers Matsikoudis in Jersey City
![Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop is under scrutiny by media and political foes for a Rhode Island home he bought with a line of credit from a Hudson County-based bank with which the city has deposits, and his use of an architect from Jersey City’s biggest landlord.](https://www.insidernj.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/DSCN7322-1024x768.jpg)
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop won reelection tonight with an historic margin – the largest since 1947.
With 83% of the local vote unofficially in, the incumbent mayor is up 77-23% over challenger Bill Matsikoudis.
Fulop’s official statement:
“Today is a record-breaking Election Day in Jersey City, with the largest percentage margin since 1947 to re-elect a Mayor after four years. From a larger police force, to new parks, to stable taxes, I know that the efforts of our first term can be seen everyday, and I am honored to have been given another four years to build upon the progress we have worked so hard to achieve. I am confident that our team, including our new council members, will continue to move Jersey City forward, and I thank each and every resident for today’s humbling support.”
