FILE - In this Thursday, April 10, 2014 file photograph, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop speaks during a news conference in Jersey City, N.J. It's been a year since Steven Fulop's election as Jersey City's mayor, and the last 12 months have been anything but uneventful. The former Marine and Wall Street executive has taken on the city's school board, public authorities, the gun lobby and the powerful the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The 37-year-old is also seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party in New Jersey, and a possible gubernatorial candidate in 2017. He's been compared to Cory Booker, the former Newark mayor and current U.S. senator. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez, File)
