PENNSYLVANIA — Pennsylvanians are calling out Connecticut hedge fund CEO and mega-millionaire David McCormick for investing over a million dollars in China’s largest fentanyl producer while thousands of Pennsylvanians suffered from the fentanyl epidemic.

Here’s What Pennsylvanians Are Saying: 

Leader-Vindicator Letter to the Editor: McCormick profited as PA suffered

• In 2022, more than 4,700 Pennsylvanians passed away from fentanyl overdoses, touching thousands more friends, loved ones and families who lost someone they knew.

• That same year, Connecticut hedge fund executive Dave McCormick oversaw over a million dollars in investments in China’s largest fentanyl producer — the country that supplies the vast majority of fentanyl smuggled across the border by Mexican criminal cartels.

• The fentanyl epidemic has been devastating for communities across Pennsylvania and now we know — thanks to new reporting — that McCormick made a profit while Pennsylvanians suffered.

• As he has done throughout his checkered career, he put profits over Pennsylvanians to protect his own bottom line.

• Rather than put forward solutions to solve the terrible fentanyl epidemic, McCormick looked for a way to make a buck.

• He turned his back on “one of the toughest border and immigration laws in modern history” to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl into Pennsylvania communities. That bill was stonewalled at the request of candidate Trump because he’d rather have a campaign issue than a solution.

• Pennsylvanians deserve a leader who will always tell the truth. Here is yet another reason why we can’t trust Dave McCormick to keep Pennsylvanians safe.
