In a presentencing report filed on Friday, prosecutors called for former state senator Brian Kelsey to serve 41 months in federal prison for his conviction of two felonies stemming from a campaign finance scheme connected to his failed 2016 congressional bid, reports the Tennessean. The report cites Kelsey's "troubling lack of respect for the law and the public good." Kelsey is scheduled to be sentenced next Friday. An initial sentencing date was called off after Kelsey attempted to revoke his 2022 guilty plea. A federal judge declined to allow him to change his plea.
