Was lobbyist for Purdue in 2002; defended Oxycontin

By 2002, it was abundantly clear the opioid painkiller Oxycontin was beginning to wreak havoc in the United States. Purdue began dispatching legions of lobbyists to defend the drug. In New Hampshire, one of those lobbyists was Cinde Warmington. Speaking before the state legislature in 2002, Warmington defended Oxycontin as a "miracle drug" with "very few side effects." "Oxycontin has been abused—it certainly has been in the press," Warmington told a state Senate committee in April 2002. Source: The Daily Beast on 2024 New Hampshire Gubernatorial race , Jul 4, 2023
