Resolves YES if George Santos (R-NY) is convicted on felony charges before January 3, 2025 (the end of the current Congressional term), otherwise NO.
Background: https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/politics/george-santos-charged-justice-department/index.html
Santos, whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, has been charged on a 13-count indictment, including seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.
Resolution details:
A guilty plea is a conviction.
Includes federal or state charges.
The date of sentencing does not matter for this question.
Appeals do not matter for this question - if he is convicted in trial court, that counts even if appeals continue, and even if the conviction is overturned on appeal.

George Santos: Former Rep. pleads guilty to federal charges | CNN Politics
Central Islip, New York CNN —
Former Republican Rep. George Santos pleaded guilty on Monday to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges stemming from fraudulent activity during his 2022 midterm campaign.
The guilty plea comes just weeks before the ex-congressman was set to stand trial on nearly two dozen federal charges, including allegations of fraud related to Covid-19 unemployment benefits, misusing campaign funds and lying about his personal finances on House disclosure reports, all of which he had to admit to in an allocution statement Monday.
Santos will serve a minimum of two years in prison as part of the stipulated agreement and pay restitution of $373,000. His sentencing hearing is set for February 2025.
