When former Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington launched a campaign challenging Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, the Democratic candidate was immediately met with loud and persistent accusations that she was an opioid lobbyist, and in the months since those accusations haven’t stopped.

“Cinde Warmington spent her career as a lobbyist for the opioid industry, promoting OxyContin and defending New England’s most notorious pill mill,” John Corbett, a spokesperson for Ayotte’s campaign and a policy adviser to the governor, told news organizations immediately after Warmington’s February announcement. “Cinde chose to make money off big pharmaceutical companies who hurt Granite Staters, and she is absolutely disqualified from serving as our governor.”
