Raj Mukherji is a New Jersey lobbyist[1] and real estate developer[2] with close ties to New Jersey Democratic establishments and the Obama administration.[3]According to Politicker, Mukherji is one of New Jersey's "100 most politically influential personalities."[4]

Mukherji became embroiled in controversy when he was appointed by Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy and confirmed by the City Council to replace Lori Serrano (who had been removed and was later charged with corruption) as the youngest Commissioner and Chairman to ever serve on the Jersey City Housing Authority,[5] the state's second largest public housing authority and an $80 million agency. Amidst his nomination, critics opposed the Housing Authority's plans to demolish and redevelop a six-tower 549-unit public housing project known as Montgomery Gardens.[6] During his tenure, the JCHA was applauded by HUD for attaining the highest score for Section 8 management among similar agencies in the state.[7]

Mukherji was previously the CEO of an Internet technology company, later acquired by a federal contractor, and was designated the Downtown Redeveloper in Fanwood, New Jerseyin 2005.[8]

He starred on an episode of MTV'sRoom Raiders,[9] and appeared as a guest of Steve Adubato on PBS, onFox's Good Day NY, and on Capitol Debates on TV Asia[10].

He holds a masters from the University of Pennsylvania and has apparently performed on Broadway.[11]
