[1][2] Forchion was nominated by petition to run for Governor of New Jersey in 2005.

While Forchion was campaigning for governor, his home in Pemberton Township was vandalized, August 25, during the night by someone who spray-painted a 6-foot cross together with the words “Get Jesus.” Burlington County police investigated the incident, calling it a hate crime because Forchion is a person of color.

But Forchion told reporters that he thought he had been targeted because of his Rastafari religious beliefs, not because he is African American.

In a bid for Burlington County Freeholder in 2004, Forchion got 2,932 votes.

[4][5][6] In 2014, Forchion, otherwise known as NJWeedman,[12] filed a lawsuit in an attempt to get onto the ballot in New Jersey's 3rd congressional district.
