Amy Degise Hit And Run Case: Update On What You Didn’t Know So Far – Arrest Details

Degise is one of Jersey City’s three at-large city council members. Until recently, she presided over the Hudson County Democratic Committee, widely regarded as one of New Jersey’s most powerful political organizations.

When her father, Tom Degise, retires, she is expected to take over his political organization. Hudson County’s executive is Tom Degise.

Activists, including two city council members, James Solomon and Frank Gilmore, are now calling for Degise to resign. Mayor Steven Fulop, who is expected to run for governor in 2025, chastised Degise but did not call for her resignation.

In 2018, a rare open election was held to elect Degise to the position of county committee head, revealing divisions among Hudson County Democrats. However, Solomon and others claim that the party’s key factions have just reached a power-sharing agreement, ushering in a new era of peace.
