Voting analysis
Labour and employment lead Donald Norcross's classified filings by a wide margin over anything else, and one of his bills is titled simply as a demand for a raise. Members whose top subject is labour are not numerous on this site; most records with a working-class frame arrive dressed as tax policy or manufacturing. His does not.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Donald Norcross's cluster into: Labor and Employment (15), Health (8), Taxation (6), Government Operations and Politics (5), Armed Forces and National Security (4), Education (4).
Of the 50 most recent of those, 50 currently sit at Introduced.
The remaining filings cover opioid treatment access, a sepsis measure, a path act, and a shipbuilding bill. He is ranking member on tactical air and land forces at Armed Services, so ships sit just outside his subcommittee's remit and comfortably inside a south Jersey one.
A war powers vote the other way
Most Democrats on this site who depart on a war powers resolution do so by voting for one their caucus declined. Norcross did the reverse: on a war powers resolution his caucus supported, he voted no. It is the same category of vote pointing in the opposite direction, and on a page full of members from his party it stands out for that reason alone.
The other five
An amendment vote. A daylight saving measure he declined. And three yeses his caucus withheld: fuel retailing, a religious heritage restoration for fallen servicemembers, and a police de-escalation funding bill.
