Congressman Donald Norcross, who has represented New Jersey’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress since 2014, recently shared a series of statements on social media addressing worker safety and community engagement. Norcross, a former electrician and long-time public servant from Camden, New Jersey, used the occasion of Prime Day to highlight issues facing warehouse workers and to reflect on his ongoing efforts in Congress.
On July 10, 2025, Norcross commented on working conditions during Prime Day: “While most see #PrimeDay as a race for deals, I’m thinking of warehouse workers facing tough, unsafe conditions. My Warehouse Worker Protection Act will require companies to share quota rules and ban quotas that block access to meals, breaks, or bathrooms. Workers deserve safety”.
Later that evening, he thanked constituents for participating in a telephone town hall: “Thanks to everyone who joined me for tonight’s telephone town. I’ve hosted over 100 town halls during my time in Congress, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the job. Thanks to the 12,000+ people who joined the call!” This event was part of his ongoing commitment to direct communication with residents of his district.
On July 11, 2025, Norcross returned to the subject of workplace safety by recalling a specific tragedy: “During #PrimeDay, I’m remembering the three New Jerseyans who died working at an Amazon warehouse in 2022. As a former electrician, I know firsthand what it’s like to lose a coworker on the job, and I won’t stop fighting to end preventable tragedies.”
Norcross has served in Congress since replacing Rob Andrews in 2014 and previously held seats in both the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate. He was born in Camden in 1958 and continues to reside there.
