Congressman Donald Norcross, representing New Jersey’s 1st district since 2014, has recently shared his views on social media regarding current political issues. His posts address controversial actions by the Trump administration and highlight his efforts to combat food insecurity in South Jersey.

On May 20, 2025, Congressman Norcross criticized President Trump’s recent pardons. He stated, “Just a few months ago, President Trump pardoned hundreds of January 6th insurrectionists who brutally assaulted police officers, and now his administration is targeting a Member of Congress, @RepLaMonica, for exercising her congressional duty of oversight. This is a disgrace.”

In another post on the same day at 17:49 UTC, he provided additional resources for readers interested in further details by sharing a link with the caption “Read more here: https://t.co/lFB03p69Su”.

Later that day, Norcross highlighted his focus on addressing food insecurity issues in South Jersey. He wrote about securing federal funding for community nutrition initiatives: “While Trump pushes cuts to SNAP, I’m focused on reducing food insecurity in South Jersey. I helped secure federal funding for the new Mary Ann Wardlow Center for Community Nutrition in Gloucester Township to expand home-delivered meals to people in need.”

Donald Norcross was born in Camden, New Jersey in 1958 and continues to reside there. His career includes service in both the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate before joining Congress.
