Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally is asking a federal judge to consider the life circumstances and young family of former state Sen. Brian Kelsey when determining the former lawmaker’s sentence in a federal campaign finance conspiracy, Mainstreet Nashville reports. Kelsey, 45, pleaded guilty to two campaign finance conspiracy charges last November, admitting he illegally shifted "soft money" from his state campaign to his federal campaign account during his unsuccessful 2016 bid for Congress. McNally is one of several people to submit letters in support of Kelsey to Judge Waverly Crenshaw for consideration ahead of sentencing.
