Donald Norcross, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 1st District since 2014, has shared views on recent observances and community contributions through his tweets. Norcross, who took office after replacing Rob Andrews and formerly served in the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate, made several remarks covering healthcare and community recognitions.

On April 17, 2025, Congressman Norcross highlighted the significance of Medicaid in a tweet marking "Medicaid Day of Action." He stated, "Today is Medicaid Day of Action. Medicaid helps 1 in 5 people in our community get the care they need, including about 1 in 3 kids. Healthcare isn’t a privilege, it’s a basic right. But with Republican proposals to slash Medicaid, that right is under threat."

Later the same day, Norcross expressed appreciation for local service in another tweet. He recognized a community member, "One of the greatest honors of my job is recognizing hometown heroes like Ted Howarth of Gloucester City, a Navy veteran, former police chief, and public servant. Thank you, Ted, for your dedication to our country and community. https://t.co/Fk3cWQTDia"

On April 18, 2025, Norcross extended his regards to those observing a religious event, saying, "Wishing everyone observing a meaningful Good Friday."

These tweets reflect Norcross's continuous engagement with both national and local matters, in line with his ongoing role in Congress.
