A former Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate was sentenced by a federal judge on Oct. 17 to two months in prison for participating in the U.S. Capitol breach on Jan. 6, 2021, during which he incited other rioters and tore a tarp outside the building.

Ryan Kelley, who placed fourth in the GOP primary among five other candidates, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in July.
