JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham, the first black leader of this city of 250,000 people, died of a massive heart attack Tuesday night. He was 60.

Cunningham, who also served as a state senator, died at 10:45 p.m., officials said.

Cunningham, considered a political maverick, had been mayor since 2001 and won his Senate seat last year.

"Such a big loss for the city," said Deputy Mayor Anthony Cruz. "So many good things we were doing."
