after much ado about 'witch hunts' and newp, not guilty, not me, no sireebob "I'm totally innocent", indicted kelsey (former republican state senator) changed his plea to 'guilty' and thereby incurred the suspension in accordance to the state senate's own rules. What makes the fraud all the more sad is that even with the additional (illegal) transference of funds he STILL didn't win election in 2016.
In October 2021, a federal grand jury in Nashville indicted Kelsey and Smith, who owns The Standard club, on several counts each. The indictment alleged that Kelsey, Smith and others violated campaign finance laws by illegally concealing the transfer of $91,000 — $66,000 from Kelsey’s state Senate campaign committee and $25,000 from a nonprofit that advocated about legal justice issues — to a national political organization to fund advertisements urging support of Kelsey’s 2016 failed congressional campaign.
