Governor McGreevey
James "Jim" McGreevey (born August 6, 1957) is the current Governor of New Jersey. He was elected in 2001, sworn in in 2002 and his current term will end in 2006. He is a member of the Democratic Party. His Republican opponent in the 2001 election was Brett Schundler after Donald DiFrancesco dropped out of the race to to allegations of corruption. He had previously been Mayor of Woodbridge, New Jersey, and a member of the New Jersey legislature. McGreevey is a Roman Catholic.
His pro-choice stance on abortion resulted in him stating that he would not receive communion at public church services, after a request by Newark Archbishop John J. Myers for pro-choice supporters to not seek communion when they attend Mass. He is committed to the separation of church and state, having said that he believes "it's a false choice in America between one's faith and constitutional obligation".
