Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) suggested he could soon pardon 70-year-old election worker Tina Peters, highlighting the disparity between her lengthy prison sentence and penalties imposed in similar cases.
“Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official,” Polis wrote on X Tuesday evening. “She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild her life.”
The Democrat governor went on to say he was glad Jaquez Lewis, 68, wasn’t sent to prison after being convicted on four felony charges of attempting to influence a public official, “the exact same felony charge as Tina Peters.”
“…[A]nd yet Tina Peters, as a non-violent first time offender got a nine year sentence,” the governor continued.
“Justice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly, you never know when you might need to depend on the rule of law. This is the context I am using as I consider cases like this that have sentencing disparities, which is why I have extended the deadline for clemency applications until April 3rd,” the governor explained, alluding to a potential pardon.
“I will be making decisions on these cases throughout the remainder of my governorship.”
Peters, a former Mesa County Clerk and former Republican candidate for secretary of state, was sentenced to nine years in prison after a 2024 conviction for allegedly allowing unauthorized access to Mesa County voting machines in 2021.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for Peters to be set free, after granting her a full presidential pardon last December and labeling Polis a “sleazebag” for refusing to let her out of prison.
