Joe Piscopo: I’m not raising money to be N.J. governor — yet
“I’m not raising money, and I haven’t officially declared,” said Piscopo in an telephone interview with NJ Advance Media on Thursday afternoon. The former “Saturday Night Live” star, who was raised in North Caldwell and now lives in Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County, said he is “just doing due diligence” and exploring a run for governor, speaking to Republican leaders in the state about what would be involved.
