James Edward McGreevey is an American politician and former attorney who served as the 52nd governor of New Jersey from 2002 to 2004. He gained national attention when he announced his resignation, simultaneously coming out as gay and admitting to having had an extramarital affair with a male employee. After leaving office, McGreevey attended the General Theological Seminary to obtain a Master of Divinity degree, though he was ultimately denied ordination. He has since dedicated his work to prisoner reentry programs, serving as the director of the Jersey City Employment & Training Program.
