U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross has introduced a bill to provide blood testing for military firefighters who were potentially exposed on the job to toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl subtances, or PFAS. Meanwhile, his colleague in the Senate, U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, is pushing for the Department of Defense to release documents pertaining to an alleged effort to influence an upcoming PFAS policy decision by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Reps. Donald Norcross, Mikie Sherrill and Tom Malinowski lauded the House’s passage of a bill that would increase ballot access, limit dark money and pump up oversight of federal officials.

“I’ve always supported making voting easier, not harder – and it’s a good thing we finally have the opportunity to give more Americans the ability to have their voices heard, to implement campaign finance reform and to restore trust in our public institutions,” Norcross said.

When the shooting started at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., Carly Novell ducked into a closet inside her journalism classroom and waited.

She said she felt “stoic,” and “in shock really,” as she and her classmates got snippets of information through texts about the killing unfolding in her school on Feb. 14, 2018. It wasn’t until later that she thought about the cruel history: She was the second person in her family to avoid death in a mass shooting this way.

The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with an assist from Congressman Donald Norcross.

U.S. Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ-01) is on the House education and labor committee. He believes urban areas have been "vastly underserved."

"We want to do more than just talk about it,” he said. “We want to make sure that we invest in that next generation."
