Poll

Who will run against Steve Fulop in 2017?

A. Tom DeGise. Remember, he already ran for mayor. He'll be back.

B. Lou Manzo. Time for another comeback.

C. Jeff Dublin. Watch for him to quietly regenerate.

D. Sandy Cunningham. She won't last long with Team Fulop.

E. Bret Schundler. He won't let Fulop usurp the title of Jersey City technocrat.

F. Sean Connors. Once an enemy, always an enemy.

G. Charles Epps, because having just one school named after himself isn't enough.

H. None of the above. Fulop will be running for governor, not pursuing re-election.
