Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim that a named former governor testified in favor of expanded OxyContin prescribing — if inaccurate or mischaracterized, it would seriously mislead voters about Shaheen's record on the opioid crisis
What we foundNo evidence exists that Governor Jean Shaheen testified to allow broader OxyContin prescribing; the testimony in question was by Cinde Warmington, a lobbyist at the law firm Shaheen & Gordon, which appears to be the source of the name confusion.
