2nd Suspicious Envelope Mailed To NJ Congressman
A foreign substance-laced delivery has now been sent to Cherry Hill and Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON — A second suspicious envelope was on its way to Congressman Donald Norcross (D-01) on Thursday, this time directed to his Washington, D.C., office.
This latest delivery comes just days after another attempt to reach the lawmaker when a similar item was mailed to his facility in Cherry Hill on Oct. 19.
"Public service shouldn't require frequently experiencing violent threats, and we can't expect people to be eager to serve their communities if this trend continues to become the norm," said Norcross.
