Summary
Cinde Warmington clinched New Hampshire’s Democratic gubernatorial nomination Tuesday after running unopposed, sending the former Executive Councilor into a Nov. 3 general-election matchup with Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte.
Her nomination revives a second straight bid for governor after she lost the 2024 Democratic primary to Joyce Craig by 47.9% to 41.8%.
Republicans are already targeting Warmington over her past legal work for Purdue Pharma, whose role in marketing OxyContin led to years of litigation and a $7.4 billion settlement in May.
Warmington has called those attacks unfounded, saying her Purdue role was limited and arguing she did not know of the company’s fraud at the time.
In the general election, she is framing her campaign around affordability, housing and tax pledges as Democrats try to reclaim the governorship Ayotte won in 2024 by 53.6% to 44.3%.
