Mike Sorrentino Teases New Jersey Governor Run After 3-5 Years Expanding Recovery Centers

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 3
  • Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, 43, said he plans to enter New Jersey politics after spending the next three to five years growing Archangel Centers.
  • At a VUE Magazine event, the former "Jersey Shore" star said he would reveal "Governor Situation" later and floated eliminating New Jersey property tax, though he did not name a party.
  • Archangel Centers was launched in 2024 with his wife, Lauren, and Ascend Behavioral Health Network as Sorrentino shifts his public focus from television to addiction recovery work.
  • That push draws on his own history: he celebrated 10 years of sobriety in December 2025 after multiple rehab stints and previously served eight months in federal prison for tax evasion.
