Former United Auto Workers vice president Norwood Jewell became the highest ranking labor official to plead guilty to violating federal labor law.
Even with the reduced sentence, Jewell may still be in federal prison when the Democrats' presidential nominating convention begins in Minneapolis.
Jewell served as a superdelegate during the 2016 primary battle between Hillary Clinton and insurgent socialist senator Bernie Sanders.
Neither the DNC nor the state party returned requests for comment about Jewell's status within the organization.
Republicans criticized Democratic leaders for maintaining ties with Jewell in the wake of the guilty plea.
RNC spokesman Michael Joyce pointed to the fact that some of the allegations against Jewell took place even while he was serving as a party leader.
While Jewell did not publicly announce his support in the Sanders-Clinton race, the superdelegate process was criticized by Sanders supporters for rigging the contest in Clinton's favor.
