CHERRY HILL, NJ – With over 90% of precincts reporting and over 84% of the vote, Congressman Donald Norcross won the Democratic Party’s nomination to a third full term representing New Jersey’s First Congressional District.

“I am humbled by and thankful for the thousands of South Jersey working families, seniors, veterans and students who voted for me today. It’s been my life’s work to fight for them, and the fight continues through November and beyond,” said Congressman Norcross. “As a father and grandfather, my top priority in Congress is making the future better for this generation and the next generation. That’s why I’m standing up to Trump and his Republican accomplices and defending our core American values and ideals. I look forward to continuing to grow South Jersey’s economy by fighting for good jobs and higher wages, affordable educational opportunities, health care and retirement security, a strong nation and safe neighborhoods.”

In the primary campaign, Norcross was endorsed for re-election by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the Sierra Club, End Citizens United, the National Education Association, the South Jersey Young Democrats, Senator Cory Booker, the Human Rights Campaign and the Progressive Caucus PAC.

Norcross grew up in Pennsauken and resides in the City of Camden with his wife Andrea. He has been representing South Jersey in Congress since he was sworn in on November 12, 2014, and currently serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Joint Select Committee on Pensions. Norcross was appointed by the members of his caucus to serve as Assistant Whip in the 115th Congress, and he was also selected to be a member of the Steering & Policy Committee, the Communications Committee and, most recently, as a Co-Chair of the Rebuilding America Task Force. He is also a founding member of the bipartisan Building Trades Caucus and vice-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic.
