Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, under scrutiny for role in opioid crisis, are big political spenders
The company also employed the Purdue Pharma PAC to contribute to federal candidates, almost solely Republican ones.
Some family members mostly favor Republicans, while others support Democrats. The overall top recipient of the 12 family membersā contributions was the Republican National Committee (RNC) with $252,700.
The biggest donor in terms of dollars in the family is Mortimer Sackler, son of the elder Mortimer Sackler who was one of the original founders and a former CEO. The younger Mortimer, currently a Purdue Pharma board member, has given $439,099, almost solely to Republican and conservative causes. Heās contributed thousands to the NRSC and RNC, as well as to John Kasich and Carly Fiorina during their 2016 presidential campaigns. His wife, Jacqueline, has contributed $248,496, also favoring Republicans.
