MIAMI (AP) — Federal prosecutors are seeking a reduction in the prison sentence for a former U.S. House candidate who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in a case linked to Republican ex-Rep. David Rivera.

Court documents filed Wednesday say Justin Sternad has cooperated extensively in the Rivera investigation. Sternad was sentenced to seven months behind bars but is not scheduled to start his prison term until Sept. 26.
