JERSEY CITY – Mayor Steve Fulop will be one of a number of New Jersey Mayors who will take part in the New Jersey Mayors’ Charity Poker Challenge on May 22, at Bally’s Atlantic City in the newly branded Poker Room.

Ducey, of Brick, David M. Salkin, of Freehold Township, Steven Fulop, of Jersey City, Don Purdy, of Galloway, and Don Guardian, of Atlantic City.
