Biden pardon of former Kentucky Dems chair draws Republican ire | Kentucky
SUMMARY: Former Kentucky Democratic Party chairman Jerry Lundergan, convicted in 2019 for illegal campaign contributions and conspiracy, received a controversial pardon from President Joe Biden shortly before Donald Trump’s inauguration. Lundergan, who was sentenced to 21 months in prison for funding his daughter Allison Lundergan Grimes’ 2014 Senate campaign with over $200,000 in corporate funds, had his civil rights restored, including the right to vote. This pardon faced backlash from Kentucky Republicans, as state lawmakers consider measures to limit future gubernatorial pardons during election periods to ensure justice system integrity and transparency.
