Former Queens Councilman Daniel Halloran was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday.
He was convicted of bribery charges connected to the 2013 New York City mayoral race.
Halloran received payments as part of a scheme involving former state Sen. Malcolm Smith's attempt to run for mayor.
He was found guilty by a jury in July.
Using surveillance video gathered by an undercover FBI agent and a government informant, prosecutors showed Halloran both accepted and arranged bribes in exchange for his City Council member item funding, and as part of a scheme to help Democratic state Senator Malcolm Smith bribe his way onto the Republican ballot line for mayor last year.
Smith has already been convicted, and is awaiting sentencing.
