CT Democratic Party received $116,000 from Sacklers

HARTFORD — Since 2002, the Connecticut Democratic Party has received a total of about $116,000 from the Sackler family, owners of Stamford-based Purdue Pharma, the opioid-producing company now being sued by Connecticut and many other states. “If we knew then what we know now, of course, we never would have taken the money,” said Nancy Wyman, who was elected chair of the state party last week, after serving as lieutenant governor for eight years. Eight of the Sacklers were closely involved in false marketing of opioids, contributing to the nation’s deadly opioid crisis, a lawsuit by Connecticut’s attorney general alleges.
