Congressman Donald Norcross, representing New Jersey’s 1st district since 2014, recently shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Born in Camden, New Jersey in 1958, Norcross has a history of public service, including time in the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate.

Later that day, Norcross addressed workers’ rights and tax policies with another tweet advocating for legislative change.

Norcross continues to be an active voice on labor rights and government accountability as he serves in Congress.
