Stunning Admission From Top State Democrat After WHAT Police Found

Liberty Check

• Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman Steve Kerrigan was arrested for drunk driving and admitted prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him
• Police found him with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and a blood alcohol level above the legal limit after he was seen swerving across lane dividers
• He received probation, a suspended license, and mandatory classes — yet another example of lenient treatment for well-connected Democrats

The chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party was arrested last month on drunk driving charges and quickly admitted to prosecutors that there were sufficient facts to support a conviction, according to state court records.

Steve Kerrigan, 54, who leads the state’s Democratic Party, entered an “admission to sufficient facts” on June 15 — just two days after being pulled over in Southborough. This legal disposition allows a defendant to acknowledge prosecutors have enough evidence for a conviction without formally pleading guilty, according to Westborough District Court records.

Kerrigan faced multiple charges: operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation, and a marked lanes violation. The negligent operation charge was dismissed, and he was found not responsible for the marked lanes violation.

The judge sentenced him to a year’s probation, suspended his driver’s license for 45 days, ordered him to pay $600 in fees, and required him to complete an impaired driving education program.

Kerrigan was elected chair of the Massachusetts Democratic Party in 2023. He was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2014 and previously served as an executive with the Democratic National Convention Committee. He also serves as president and CEO of the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center.

According to the Southborough Police Department report, an officer stopped Kerrigan shortly after midnight on June 13 after observing his BMW traveling on or over the lane divider.

The officer documented that Kerrigan’s eyes appeared “glassy” and “bloodshot red” and that his speech was slow and slurred. The report states the officer could not detect the smell of alcohol because of what was described as an “overwhelming odor of cologne.”

Kerrigan told the officer he was driving home from a restaurant. He claimed he had consumed two beers around 6 p.m. before dinner, according to the report.

Police administered field sobriety tests before Kerrigan provided a breath sample that registered a 0.089% blood alcohol content. The legal blood alcohol limit in Massachusetts is 0.08%.

Kerrigan acknowledged the incident in a statement provided through his attorney, Andrea Levy.

“In June, I was pulled over for a marked lanes violation and blew a .089 on the breathalyzer,” Kerrigan said. “I regret and take full responsibility for my actions and their consequences and appreciate the Southborough Police Department and the Westborough Court for their professionalism and service.”

The Massachusetts Democratic Party did not respond to requests for comment.

Americans deserve better from those who claim to lead them.
