Representative Donald Norcross, a Democrat from New Jersey, experienced an unforeseen medical issue likely stemming from his gallbladder while traveling this weekend, according to a statement released by his office.
Norcross was admitted to UNC Rex Hospital in North Carolina on Sunday and is currently stable, receiving what his office described as “exceptional” medical care. He is reportedly maintaining a positive outlook and expressed gratitude for the dedication of the hospital staff.
“I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and support staff at UNC Rex Hospital for all their work on my behalf during my stay,” Norcross stated.
A transfer to Cooper University Healthcare in New Jersey is planned in the coming days to facilitate his continued recovery.
Despite this situation, Representative Norcross remained active on Monday evening, posting about legislative efforts. Alongside Representatives Brendan Boyle (D-Penn.) and Judy Chu, he recently introduced two bills:
- The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act
- The Tax Fairness for Workers Act
“These bills are centered on the vital goal of safeguarding America’s workers,” Norcross explained. “Every worker deserves a fair opportunity to join or form a union, and it’s imperative that our tax code aligns with this principle.”
He further elaborated, “The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act will eliminate corporate subsidies used to undermine unions, creating a more equitable tax system and ensuring a level playing field for workers.”
“The Tax Fairness for Workers Act aims to restore balance and return funds to the pockets of those who invest in themselves. During a period where worker’s rights are being challenged, I am proud to collaborate with Representatives Boyle and Chu in our shared mission of supporting hardworking American families,” Norcross added.
The 66-year-old representative, alongside his wife, is also a father to three adult children and grandfather to four grandchildren.
