Later that day, he addressed the ongoing opioid crisis and his legislative efforts: “The disease of addiction has touched millions of lives, but recovery is possible when care is accessible.

In another post on the same date, Norcross recognized Hispanic Heritage Month in Camden County: “Diversity is our strength.
