Hickenlooper Statement on Tina Peters’ Commuted Sentence
"Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado."
WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper released the following statement after Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced he will commute Tina Peters' prison sentence following a months-long political retribution campaign by President Trump, during which his administration cancelled hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for Colorado:
"Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado.
"She tried to undermine Colorado's free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers.
"Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump's illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision."
