DENVER, CO — In response to Governor Jared Polis’s decision to commute Tina Peters’ sentence, Michael Bennet released the following statement:
“Tina Peters knowingly broke the law, undermined our elections, and was rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers. I vehemently disagree with Governor Polis’s decision to commute her sentence.
Lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness. With President Trump continuing to attack Colorado, we must do everything we can to stand strong for our institutions and the rule of law.”
