Former Nevada Senate Majority Leader Kelvin Atkinson was sentenced Thursday to 27 months in prison for misusing campaign funds. He must surrender by Oct. 18.
Atkinson, 50, became the first black LGBTQ state Senate majority leader in the nation this year, but he was forced to resign barely one month after the 2019 Legislature convened.
He pleaded guilty the following week, on March 11, to a federal wire fraud charge, admitting to misusing some $250,000 in campaign funds.

No mention of his political party affiliation: democrat. Shocker.
Not one mention of party affiliation in source story.
Dem of course
Party? I know I needn’t ask. On 7/28 there is supposedly a recall sisolack rally in Reno.
A corrupt black Demon?? Can’t be.
Black blt sandwich? must be a slave holdin, plantation ownin, ordained by tha Lord Whitey!
He’s best friends with my neighbor, the now AG. The AG’s kid just got busted for domestic abuse a couple weeks ago.
“Regretfully it has been discovered that I have used campaign donations for personal use. Thus I will be accepting the blame for this”
He only regrets being caught! And that’s the only reason he is taking the blame!
Now that is one crazy quote!!

At least he's honest about it.
Better than the "I've never done anything like that before and never would again. I was taking some strong cold medicine" apology.
“black LGBTQ” - should fit right in in prison.
Let’s be like China and execute everybody. We need tougher sentences for especially white collar crime. Now police state agents and prosecutors must be exempt from almost all but the most egregious offenses.
E mbrace the SUCK, NEVADA!!
Another feculent gun grabber going to prison!
Seems to be a pattern or two here.
Too bad they are unsure of the exact amount, might have gotten more time.
Please note that the fine is a fraction of what was misused.
So crime does pay if you don’t mind a little time behind bars.
Need I point out the reasons he will be released very early?
He had so much going for him too, black, queer. If only he could have been Muslim too........
Thanks for posting. ‘Rat corruption? C’mon. Drain. Ocean.
