    ; June 9, 2022

    Ryan Kelley, a Republican running for governor in Michigan who was at
    the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, was arrested at his home in
    Allendale, Mich., on Thursday morning, according to Mara R. Schneider,
    a special agent with the F.B.I.
    Mr. Kelley is *the first* person running for election in a major state
    or federal race to be charged in connection with the attack […]
    On Wednesday afternoon, a message was posted on a Facebook page for
    Mr. Kelley’s campaign that said “Political Prisoner” […]
