A New Jersey lawmaker was arrested Thursday morning and charged for driving while intoxicated after hitting two parked cars following near her Jersey City home, according to authorities.
State Sen. Sandra Cunningham, D-Hudson, was charged after she sideswiped the cars at about 9:30 a.m...
Cunningham reportedly told police “I was coming down the street when I was about to make a turn and instead turned into a snowbank,” police said in the report.
She crashed her Infiniti G35X SUV into a parked Nissan Altima and a Ford Focus....
In 2006, she pled guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol and paid a $708 fine after she was ticketed in November 2005 with a DWI with a blood alcohol reading of .18, according to public records.
“This is out of character for me, and a mistake,” she said at the time...
Cunningham was first elected as a senator in 2007, three years after her husband, Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham, died while in office.
She is the deputy majority leader and chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, vice chairwoman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and a member of the Education Committee and the Select Committee on New Jersey Transit, according to her bio on New Jersey Legislature.

LoL! Was she drinking early or still drinking late?
Has MADD demanded her Resignation yet?
Bloody Marys for breakfast are great!! I remember those days.
Infiniti G35x is a car that was last made in 2008, not an SUV. Very shoddy reporting, of course.
“after hitting two parked cars following near her Jersey City home”
So were the cars parked or not? If there were parked how were they following her?
“I was coming down the street when I was about to make a turn and instead turned into a snowbank,”
No snow in Jersey right now!! What a lying Bitch!
Vodka and corn flakes, yummy.
I, for one, am shocked they showed the “D” in the story!
No snow in Jersey right now!! What a lying Bitch!
A drug test could have the potential to prove you wrong......just sayin.
This is her second DUI (that we know of). So she’s in trouble now, and rightly so. Oh, wait. She’s a powerful Democrat. So I’m guessing she’ll just pay another fine - and maybe she’s have to go to a safe-driving lecture.
What’s the line on how many days she’ll spend in an actual jail? I’m betting on zero.
SUVs are evil. The Democrat Female Minority Politician was blameless. It was all the fault of the evil SUV.
She’s a Democrat so it’s all completely forgivable. Were she a Republican, the media would trumpet this for weeks.
Self described "Gay American" and disgracefully corrupt ousted former Governor Jim McGreevey picked her up from the police station and drove her home.
They're friends.
I’m in North Jersey - we still have plenty of snow hanging around. Especially the snow-plowed piles.
Once again a victim of drinking while black.
Yep
She’ll get the Bruce Springsteen treatment.
Do you see any snow here?

Celebrities and democrats can get away with everything
She’ll get a pass like Bruce. Besides it’s probably not her fault. She’s had to live with the horror of being black in America. Just had a drink to help with all that pain. And some liberal judge will probably buy it.
