Perez was booked into Pierce County Corrections for driving under the influence early Tuesday morning. According to reporting by Seattle Red, she struck a parked car and set off a chain reaction that damaged five cars in total. The Tacoma City Attorney’s Office will be handling her case, though it has not yet issued formal charges.

Perez is running for the state House as one of a handful of insurgent progressives challenging more moderate Democrats. Her opponent Morgan, by contrast, was one of the few House Democrats who voted against the state’s first income tax on high earners, also known as the “millionaires tax.”

It’s worth noting that elected state legislators have had DUI charges while holding office in the past. Washington state law does not prevent someone with a DUI on their record — which is counted as a misdemeanor — from running for elected office.

State Rep. Timm Ormsby, a Democrat from Spokane, was charged with a DUI in 2018, and he continued to win reelection until he stepped down from his seat this year.
