Why we checked itSpecific claim that opponent worked for approximately ten years at an entity characterized as a 'pill mill' — the duration and nature of employment are verifiable facts.
What we foundNHPR, the New Hampshire Bulletin, the Union Leader and HuffPost report that Warmington was a lawyer and registered agent for the PainCare clinics for more than a decade. The clinics have been widely described as a pill mill, and a PainCare staffer was convicted of taking kickbacks for prescribing fentanyl. Her role was as the clinics' lawyer, not an employee.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: Warmington was the PainCare clinics' lawyer and registered agent for more than a decade, and the claim describes the clinics, not her, as pushing opioids. The evidence is unchanged; the summary was rewritten to match.
