Former Kentucky Democrat Party chairman sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison for illegal campaign contribution scheme

Well, eventually…

Washington Examiner: The former head of the Kentucky Democratic Party was sentenced to nearly two years in prison for his role in a scheme to funnel thousands of dollars into his daughter’s failed 2014 campaign for U.S. Senate.

Jerry Lundergan, Kentucky’s former Democratic Party chief, was given a 21-month prison sentence by Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove on Thursday. Due to concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, Lundergan, 73, will not have to report to prison until next winter.

Tatenhove received dozens of letters pledging support for Lundergan amid the case, including one from former President Bill Clinton and another on notebook paper from a former homeless man given a job with Lundergan’s company, WKYT reported. more
