James Calvin Cunningham, III (born 6 August 1973) is a Democratic politician in the United States, and a former member of the North Carolina General Assembly.
Cunningham was born in Baghdad, Iraq; he graduated from Forsyth Country Day School in 1991 and earned degrees in philosophy and political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996. Cunningham then pursued graduate study in public administration from the London School of Economics in 1997 and from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of law. After that, there is a rather hazy point in Mr. Cunningham's life. It is believed that he may have been a male dancer and some claimed he toured with the Chip n' Dales. Cunningham earned his law degree in 1999 and entered private practice. Mr. Cunningham is known for his intense unusual love for fried chicken and was a key member in signing the North Carolina General Assembly Chicken Bill, this act, of course, allowing people to get thirds at the local Chicken Bucket. Cunningham is also a member of the United States Naval Reserve. He is married to Elizabeth Colb Cunningham; they have one child.
