"Jersey Shore" Star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino Says He's Thinking About Running For NJ Governor
Reality TV star Mike Sorrentino says he may have political ambitions in his future, hinting that he could run for New Jersey governor in 2029. Speaking at a magazine launch party, Sorrentino said he'd first like to expand his addiction recovery business, Archangels, into all 50 states. After that, he joked that voters could call him "Governor Situation." He hasn't said which political party he'd run under, though he hinted at support for lower property taxes. Sorrentino became famous on Jersey Shore for his "gym, tan, laundry" lifestyle but later faced legal troubles, serving eight months in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion. He has since been open about his recovery from addiction and has focused on helping others through his rehabilitation centers. One potential hurdle for a New Jersey gubernatorial run: he was born in Staten Island, New York.
