Voted nay on H.R. 7744 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-03-05: Norcross voted against the Republican DHS funding bill, citing Trump and ICE 'abusing their power.'

Norcross voted for H.R. 1, the For the People Act, describing it as 'a sweeping anti-corruption package to clean up Washington, protect and expand voting rights, restore integrity to government and put the needs and priorities of the American people ahead of special interests.' He stated: 'I've always supported making voting easier...'

Vote: on "On June 17, 2024, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin unsealed a 13-count racketeering…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Norcross publicly champions anti-corruption and government integrity legislation while his political career was built within — and continues to benefit from — the South Jersey Democratic machine controlled by his brother George, who was indicted for leading a racketeering enterprise. The two source hosts differ (norcross.house.gov vs. foxnews.com), satisfying the independent-outlet requirement. Norcross has never publicly distanced himself from the political machine or addressed the apparent tension between his anti-corruption rhetoric and his family's alleged conduct.

George Norcross III racketeering indictment — implications for Camden development, state tax credits, and the Norcross political machine

610d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As the sitting congressman for the district at the center of the alleged racketeering scheme (Camden, NJ), Norcross would be expected to provide constituents with a substantive accounting of his knowledge of or separation from the alleged conspiracy that involved his two brothers, his longtime political allies, and over $240 million in state tax credits. The indictment alleged a 12-year criminal enterprise operating in the heart of his district. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Norcross was publicly active throughout this window: he gave an interview to the New Jersey Globe (September 2024) discussing labor policy, Israel, and Camden revitalization; hosted roundtables on antisemitism; issued statements on the PRO Act, minimum wage, and NDAA. However, when asked twice in the NJ Globe interview about whether the indictment was politically motivated, he deflected with identical non-answers: 'I love my brothers, and they will have their day in court.' He held no town halls, issued no detailed public statements, and published no op-eds addressing the substance of the allegations, the tax credit system, or the impact on constituent trust in Camden governance. The only on-record comment was a two-sentence statement given to Patch and NJ Spotlight News on June 17-18, 2024. Primary URL: https://newjerseyglobe.com/fr/an-interview-with-donald-norcross/

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

Component	Weight	Signal
Contradiction Risk	30%	Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence	20%	Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk	15%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume	15%	Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation	0%	Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment	0%	Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
