Norcross Releases Details On Gloucester Twp. Rally With Pelosi

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Rep. Donald Norcross (D-1) released details concerning an upcoming rally at Camden County College on Tuesday.

The event, in which he will be joined by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Gov. Phil Murphy, is being dubbed the “Rally for Progress,” and it will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 29. Doors will open at 1 p.m.

It will be held in the Papiano Gym on Camden County College’s Blackwood Campus, and admission is free. Anyone wishing to attend must RSVP.

The rally will be preceded by a special VIP reception that will be attended by U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker. The reception is also at the college, and tickets for that event are $2,800.

The Camden County Republicans will hold their own counter-rally at the college on the same day. The reception comes a little more than a month after President Donald Trump held a rally in Wildwood and deemed South Jersey "Trump Country."

“Donald Trump says South Jersey is Trump Country — let's prove him wrong,” Norcross said in a letter to supporters. “Join Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Governor Phil Murphy in supporting the re-election of Congressman Donald Norcross as we Rally for Progress.”

Norcross is in a race against pro-Trump Republican Claire Gustafson, a former Collingswood School Board Member who said she is "looking forward to Pelosi's visit."
