Thomas Gangemi, Sr. (July 29, 1903 – December 1, 1976) was the 35th Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. Elected in 1961, the Italian-born Gangemi was forced to resign from office less than two years later when it was discovered that he had never become a United States citizen.[1] Following his resignation, Jersey City was without a Mayor for 47 days while the city council failed to reach a consensus on a successor.[2]
Gangemi became a naturalized citizen on September 2, 1964.[3] He filed petitions to run for Mayor again in 1965, but was refused by the City Clerk and New Jersey Superior Court[4] before being allowed on the ballot (see Gangemi v. Rosengard 207 A.2d 665 (N.J. 1965)).[5]
