| Concord, NH — Even Democrats across New Hampshire can’t spin Opioid Lobbyist Cinde Warmington’s long, recent, and ongoing record of putting Big Pharma and special interests over Granite State families. The following are quotes from prominent Democrats across New Hampshire on Warmington’s previous work defending the opioid industry: “… I am convinced it will be an issue…because New Hampshire has had such a problem with respect to opioids.” — Kathy Sullivan, Former NH Democratic Party Chair (Huffington Post, 2024) “…the stakes are too high to risk losing this race…” — Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern (WMUR, 2026) “People are tired of career politicians. They’re tired of voting for lobbyists…” — Jon Kiper (NEPM, 2024) “Bothered by Warmington’s past as a lobbyist for Purdue Pharma, Kiper hoped to make a dent in her supporter base – partly because he didn’t want a former opioid industry lobbyist as his governor, and partly because he thought that background would sink her when going head-to-head with Kelly Ayotte.” — Concord Monitor (Concord Monitor, 2024) “Cinde Warmington will not be able to beat Kelly Ayotte.” — Jon Kiper (WMUR, 2026) “Cinde Warmington will lose to Kelly Ayotte because of her ties to Purdue Pharma.” — Jon Kiper (WMUR, 2024) “Democrats are stuck defending the indefensible,” said NHGOP Chairman Scott Maltzie. “Their own candidates and party leadership are saying what voters already know: Cinde Warmington puts special interests over Granite Staters, and that disqualifies her from leading this state.” ### |
