“Congestion pricing has shown that it can be a good policy from an environmental standpoint and a congestion standpoint” Fulop said. In fact, his response is to propose a form of congestion pricing in New Jersey.

He lost last month, placing third with 16% of the vote.

NJ doesn't have ranked choice primaries, but my guess is that he wouldn't have won anyway.
