For Donald Norcross, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce’s Walk to Washington event this week will feel a little different than it has in years past.
Having spent more than four years as a member of the state Legislature before being elected last November to longtime U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews’ vacant 1st District seat, Norcross will address guests at this year’s event as a member of Congress.
“After attending this event for years, it will be surreal to be seated on the other side of the table addressing attendees,” Norcross told NJBIZ. “New Jersey is home to some of our nation’s most successful businesses and organizations and each is unique in its background, concerns and viewpoints.
“I’m looking forward to meeting with them and hearing what Democrats and Republicans can do together to strengthen our state’s economy and grow jobs.”
