The Associated Press (AP) is reporting State Senator Jane Cunningham, (R-Chesterfield) was hospitalized Wednesday evening.

Her Chief of Staff, Kit Crancer, told Patch late Wednesday he took Cunningham to Saint Mary's Hospital and she was admitted. The reason: she was feeling light-headed during a debate on education.

"I expect that she'll be fine," he said via email.

The AP says Cunningham was undergoing tests Wednesday night. The state legislative session ends Friday.

Cunningham represents the City of Hazelwood as part of her district, which will be eliminated in its current state through redrawn maps, come the November election.
