Federal prosecutors will seek the maximum prison term allowed by law this week for a Texas man who mounted an unsuccessful bid for Congress after his conviction for participating in the Capitol riot.

Ryan Zink, 35, was convicted by a jury in September 2023 of a felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding and two misdemeanors for joining the mob on the east side of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The Justice Department agreed to dismiss the obstruction charge in August following the Supreme Court’s ruling narrowing its use.
