A key official in Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop’s administration is leaving at the end of the month to start a consulting firm.

Bob Sommer, a Ridgewood resident who’s advised U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and was Bill Clinton’s New Jersey spokesman during the 1992 presidential campaign, said he plans to stay in touch with Fulop and help his administration in a voluntary capacity.

Fulop is seen by many as a potential Democratic candidate for governor in 2017.

Sommer has been with Fulop since 2013, after the mayor unseated incumbent Jerramiah Healy. Sommer earned $15,000 annually as a senior adviser.
