\u201cI can\u2019t announce it yet, but, uh, I think the, uh, residents of New Jersey would like no property tax,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n

\n Mike \u201cThe Situation\u201d Sorrentino<\/span> Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIf you had told me 10 years ago that the U.S. government would send me to prison, strip me of my passport and voting rights, and hit me with millions in penalties, I would have thought it was game over,\u201d the reality TV star wrote via Instagram at the time. \u201cBut here I am \u2014 living proof that the comeback is always greater than the setback.\u201d<\/p>\n
(Sorrentino spent eight months in federal prison<\/a> for tax evasion after failing to pay $8.9 million in taxes<\/a>. He was released in 2019.)<\/p>\nHe continued, \u201cAgainst all odds, I turned my life around. Today, I\u2019m happily married with three amazing kids, a published author, nine years sober, and about to launch my own treatment centers: @thearchangelcenters. What once seemed impossible is now my reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorrentino, who married wife Lauren Sorrentino<\/strong><\/a> in November 2018, previously opened up to Us Weekly<\/em> <\/a>about his substance abuse struggles.<\/p>\n\u201cI had an obsessive personality and everything I did was zero or a hundred,\u201d he told Us in November 2023. \u201cOnce you get into that life of excess, whether it\u2019s drugs, women, money, success, a lot of people don\u2019t make it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Sorrentino should enter into politics, he will join a growing list of reality TV stars who have decided to run for office, including current President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy<\/strong><\/a> and The Hills<\/em> <\/a>alum Spencer Pratt<\/strong><\/a>, who is currently running for mayor<\/a> of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")
