However, in November, Briana told her father, "Dad, I'm going to be fine, just announce. By the time you get going, my cancer will be over." On November 23, 2004, Forrester formally announced his gubernatorial candidacy at Washington Crossing State Park (As of April 2005, Briana's cancer is in remission). He has announced he will not accept public funding for his campaign. His primary competitor in the primaries was Bret Schundler, a former gubernatorial candidate and former Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. After vote counting problems in Bergen County, a swing county in the primary election, Forrester broke even as planned with Schundler, giving him a 36%-31% statewide victory over Schundler, setting Forrester up for his race against Democratic Party candidate and US Senator Jon Corzine.

According to the Trenton Times, New Jersey law has prohibited insurance companies, or people with a majority interest in one, from making political donations since Woodrow Wilson was governor. Forrester's campaign is substantially funded by donations from himself; but Forrester contends that Heartland Insurance is incorporated in Washington, D.C., it doesn't count. Heartland Insurance is in business to insure Benecare and its clients, and therefore does the overwhelming majority of its business in New Jersey, and has its offices there. It was incorporated in Washington to avoid another New Jersey law, prohibiting the formation of such captive insurers; but its business is subject to the regulation of the New Jersey Insurance Commissioner. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance issued an opinion in August 2005 stating that Forrester had not broken the law.
