Norcross Statement on Hurricane Harvey Aid

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) issued the following statement on his plan to support a supplemental spending bill to aid Texas with Hurricane Harvey recovery:

"We are the United States of America -- and in times of trouble, emergencies and hardship, we must remain unified.

"Just as we did for South Carolina, we should promptly vote for emergency disaster funding for Texas.

"Even though many of my colleagues from Texas stood against aid to New Jersey after Superstorm Sandy, I plan to support aid for those who need it.

"We will never move forward as a country if we hold grudges. Let's put partisanship and geography aside and remember that we're in it together."
