NEW AD: Nella Domenici Prioritized Profits Over People At A Deadly Cost

While Nella Domenici Was as CFO of Bridgewater Associates, Firm Held $52 Million Investment in Largest Chinese Distributor of Fentanyl

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Senator Martin Heinrich’s campaign today released a hard-hitting new ad, titled “At Any Cost,” which exposes how multimillionaire former hedge fund executive Nella Domenici again prioritized profits over people—this time with deadly consequences.

During the five decades Nella Domenici spent away from New Mexico she served as Chief Financial Officer and a strategic advisor of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund. During her tenure, the firm held a $52 million investment in one of China’s largest fentanyl distributors. Since then, fentanyl-related deaths in New Mexico have doubled.

“Nella Domenici spent her career prioritizing profits, even when it meant holding investments in companies tied to the deadly fentanyl crisis devastating New Mexico families,” said Brad Elkins, campaign manager. “New Mexicans deserve a Senator who will protect them, not profit at their expense.”
