FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) —A federal judge has sentenced Kentucky businessman and Democrat
Party stalwart Jerry Lundergan to 21 months in prison. Lundergan is
the father of former Kentucky Secretary of State Allison Lundergan
Grimes. He was convicted in September of making illegal
contributions to Grimes failed U.S. Senate campaign in 2014.
Lundergan was sentenced in federal court on Thursday. Prosecutors
say Lundergan either paid for campaign services directly and didn't
seek reimbursements, or he paid costs through a co-defendant, Dale
Emmons. Emmons was sentenced on Thursday to three years of
probation.
