From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catherine Healy (or Catherine Healy-Tiscornia)[1] is an American lawyer and civil servant. The daughter of former mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey, Jerramiah T. Healy, she was the 2025 Democratic city council candidate for Ward D, running on a slate with former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevy[2] but lost to independent candidate Jake Ephros.[3] The media characterized Healy's loss as a "rare occurrence" in a state where local election wins are usually awarded to a Democrat or Republican.
