Key Points:

• Dr. Mehmet Oz owns an undisclosed apartment in New Jersey.

• Bergen County records show that since 2006 Oz and his wife have owned the condominium in the borough of Fairview, a seven-minute drive from their mansion overlooking the Hudson River, where the county sent the unit’s property tax bill as recently as this year.

• Yet this apartment is oddly absent from the otherwise exhaustive disclosure Oz made in April as a candidate for the U.S. senator from Pennsylvania.

• Oz’s recent conversion to Pennsylvania resident has dogged him since he launched his campaign.

• He only registered to vote in the state he aspires to represent in 2020, having been a New Jersey resident for the two decades prior. He’s been criticized for allegedly filming campaign videos for his Pennsylvania Senate run from his New Jersey mansion.

• His latest FEC report showed stops for gas in Princeton, New Jersey, four times over the past quarter.

• Oz’s Cliffside Park, New Jersey, mansion’s address appears in late 2021 on multiple campaign donation forms: one giving $5,800 to Team Herschel Inc. in support of Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, and two for a total donation of $5,800 to New Jersey Republican House candidate Tom Kean Jr.

• The out-of-state ties have been a talking point for his Democratic opponent, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who’s crafted memes, shitposts and even a video from Jersey Shore personality Snooki (a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi) to troll the former television host on his new Pennsylvania residency.
