While you're paying more on everything from groceries and gas to housing and energy, where is President Trump? Asleep at the wheel. Again. Whether he's negligent or just doesn't care, one thing's for certain: He's making American life unaffordable.
Every worker deserves to be safe on the job. But while Bezos makes billions, his employees are forced to urinate in bottles, work injured, and retaliated against for exercising their right to unionize. Thank you @newjerseyoag.bsky.social for standing up to Amazon.
My office is now accepting applications for our fall internship program! Whether in DC or in the district, our interns get a hands on experience learning about the functions of a Congressional office. Applications are due August 21st, and for more info visit: norcross.house.gov/internships
On the jobsite, incompetence means that you get fired. For Trump, Hegseth's incompetence somehow means that he should get to manage $1.5 trillion in taxpayer funds, a 44% increase. All while your healthcare gets cut. My thoughts on how Hegseth and Trump are wasting money and making us less safe:
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring the North Camden Community Center to see how Rutgers-Camden and Camden City are helping to create a stronger community. A couple years ago I fought for much needed federal funding for this center, and I'm proud to see that money being put to good use.
Today's the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and I'm remembering what my friend John Lewis preached: Never stop fighting, and never lose hope. Those values are what it'll take to pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act, end voter suppression, and ensure our democracy works for EVERY American.
Congrats to the hardworking high school graduates of Camden who were awarded Lifting Lives in Camden scholarships by the Michaels Organization to further their education.
It was great to see so many smiling faces at Cherry Hill's National Night Out. Grateful to our police for bringing the community together and for showing up everyday to protect us!
Right now there's a battle happening over workers' rights, and I couldn't be prouder to be fighting alongside the Machinists. Thank you to the NJ Council of Machinists for giving me to opportunity to speak at this year's conference. Lets keep up the fight for America's workers. Solidarity forever.
While American families struggle to keep up with the rising cost of food, the Trump administration thinks the answer is to kick millions off of food assistance. Why? So that Trumps billionaire buddies can get tax breaks at the expense of hard-working families, children, and the elderly. Despicable
61 years ago, LBJ signed Medicare & Medicaid into law. Not because it would make him or his buddies richer, but because it was the right thing to do. Today, I'm fighting to protect these lifesaving programs from Trump and his GOP cronies in Congress, who are doing all they can to destroy them.

One of the great honors I have in Congress is nominating incredible young men and women from NJ-01 to attend our nation's service academies. If you or someone you know wants to be part of the next generation of American leadership, visit: norcross.house.gov/military-aca...
Trump and congressional Republicans may be raising the cost of almost everything, but that doesn't mean we can't fight back. Here's a reminder of how things got so bad, and what I'm doing to fix it (including a big win for more affordable housing!)...
A lot’s changed since July 24, 2009. One thing that hasn’t: The minimum wage. Families can’t live on $7.25 an hour, and that’s why it’s time to raise the wage.
Your government should work for YOU. That's why I hosted my 9th annual Constituent Services Fair last week, and I was happy to see so many of you getting the assistance that you deserve. If there's anything I can do to help you out, always know that you can give my office a call: 856-427-7000
For those recovering from opioid use disorder, methadone is one of the most effective and safe treatments. But right now, bad federal rules are keeping too many from accessing that necessary care. So I'm introducing bipartisan legislation to fix it:
My Constituent Services Fairs are about connecting people with the things they need. And it didn't take very long for Andrea and I to realize we needed the puppy I met at the Animal Welfare Association's booth in our lives. Appreciate all they do to keep South Jersey's pets safe and healthy!
A big thank you to everyone who hopped onto today's telephone town hall. With everyday life unaffordable and government focused on only those at the very top, its important that you know how I'm fighting back to protect Social Security, bring down costs, and hold this administration accountable.
It was my honor to welcome Father John Thomas, a South Jersey native and Vicar General for the Diocese of Camden, down to D.C. to lead today's opening prayer for the House of Representatives. Thank you, Father Thomas, for your call for your unity, and for your service to our community.
Our nation is stronger when the hard working men and women that build our country can achieve the American dream, and the labor movement fights each day to make that a reality. It was great to share that message at yesterday's NJ Building Trades Conference.
Thank you to everyone who came out to today’s Constituent Services Fair! It was great to see so many people getting the assistance they deserve and being connected with the resources they need.
Tomorrow is my 9th annual Constituent Services Fair! More than 100 local, state, and federal agencies will be in attendance to answer your questions and connect you with the services you need. Sign up and vendor list: norcross.house.gov/constituent-...
Less than one week until my 9th annual Constituent Services Fair! Over 100 local, state, and federal agencies will be on hand to answer your questions and connect you with the services you need. RSVP today: norcross.house.gov/constituent-...
Happy Independence Day! I hope you and your family are staying cool while enjoying the holiday weekend. While you do, I hope you also get a chance to appreciate the privilege — and responsibilities — we all share as citizens of this special country.
It was the honor of a lifetime to join a special session of Congress in Independence Hall: The very room our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. America's 250 year experiment has been bold, unique, tragic, and just. And through it all, we're still standing.
A year ago today, the Trump-Republican One Big Bad Bill was signed into law. Ask yourself this: Why is everything more expensive?
Before my Faster Labor Contracts Act passed the House, I had critics tell me that "the system works fine." Maybe it does for billionaires like Jeff Bezos. But does anyone really think our workers deserve to wait years for a fair contract?
