WHAT PENNSYLVANIANS ARE SAYING: DAVID MCCORMICK’S FENTANYL INVESTMENTS ARE “COMPLETELY DISQUALIFYING”

Centre Daily Times Letter to the Editor: “McCormick Is Willing To Put Profits Ahead Of Pennsylvanians To Protect His Bottom Line”

PENNSYLVANIA — Connecticut hedge fund CEO and mega-millionaire David McCormick’s investments in China’s largest fentanyl producer are under continued scrutiny this week following a recent report from Keystone Newsroom

Here’s What Pennsylvanians Are Saying:

Centre Daily Times Letter to the Editor: McCormick Puts Profits Ahead Of Pennsylvanians

  • Dave McCormick is in some hot water for investing $1.7 million in China’s largest fentanyl producer and for good reason.
  • McCormick’s investments are completely disqualifying for someone who wants to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate. 
  • The fentanyl epidemic in our country has hit Pennsylvania particularly hard. The statistics are heartbreaking. 
  • Thousands have died across Pennsylvania over the last decade. In Centre County, 164 people have died from overdoses since 2013. 
  • Behind these sobering statistics are friends, loved ones, and families of victims who have been devastated by fentanyl and other dangerous drugs. Families have been ripped apart and whole communities have suffered greatly. 
  • We know how to stop this: Crack down on the source. 
  • The source of the vast majority of the fentanyl that Mexican drug cartels traffic into the U.S. 
  • Meanwhile, McCormick pumped money into the largest fentanyl producer in China while fentanyl from China killed thousands of Pennsylvanians. 
  • Casey supported a bipartisan border deal that would help us secure the border, while McCormick aggressively lobbied against it. 
  • The choice we have before us this November is an obvious one. Senator Casey is committed to keeping our communities safe, while McCormick is willing to put profits ahead of Pennsylvanians to protect his bottom line.
