“Working families and businesses are hurting right now and need the tools and resources to help weather this difficult time,” Norcross said. “Labor organizations and business trade associations play an integral role, even in good times, in helping workers and businesses wade through the details of federal resources and regulations, something especially important now.”
“The federal government needs to provide support for our state and municipalities who have been frontline responders during this difficult time,” wrote members of the delegation.
Donald Norcross has been meeting with constituents across South Jersey, as well as the leaders of the region's healthcare organizations. His conversation with Virtua Health President and CEO Dennis Pullin can be found on the Here For Good podcast.
“The coronavirus not only threatens our health as Americans, it also threatens the economic security of workers and families,” said Congressman Norcross. “In order to properly fight the coronavirus and protect our communities, today we acted to ensure that everyone who needs to be tested can be, free of charge. And if you or a loved one gets sick, we secured paid emergency leave, so workers have the peace of mind that they can stay home to treat an illness and still be able provide for their families. The Senate and the President must take swift action and make this bill law.”
“My top priorities in Congress have always been jobs, education, and security, and all three are addressed in the Rebuild America’s Schools Act. Investing in our nation’s public schools will create good-paying jobs, improve educational outcomes, and ensure that students learn in state-of-the-art buildings that are safe and secure,” said Congressman Norcross, a member of the House Education and Labor Committee on Congress. “As public officials, it is our duty to protect our children, fight for their futures, and deliver high-quality education regardless of their zip code, and the Rebuild America’s Schools Act does just that.”
