Warmington Defends Purdue Past | Concord News

Cinde Warmington, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, defiantly defends her past work lobbying for Purdue Pharma amid renewed attacks from GOP rival Governor Kelly Ayotte. In a viral video, she recounts her personal battle with family addiction that fueled her career in healthcare law—and explains how, as a junior attorney in 2001, she championed OxyContin access, believing it was a “miracle drug” with minimal risks. She insists she couldn’t have foreseen the opioid crisis unfolding and says she’d never take the job again if she knew what she knows now. Warmington also turns the spotlight on Ayotte, highlighting her failure to sue Purdue as AG and accepting Sackler donations as a senator—calling the criticism political theater. With November fast approaching, she’s framing this as a race where values matter more than past ties. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
