Rep. Neguse Statement on Commutation Decision

Lafayette, CO — Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse issued the following statement on Tina Peters’ commuted sentence:

“Tina Peters broke the law and was convicted by a jury of her peers. I disagree with the commutation of her sentence, and believe the judicial process should have proceeded as provided for under Colorado law.”

“As an attorney, member of Congress, and former impeachment prosecutor, I believe the rule of law is sacrosanct, and I’ll continue to fight to protect the rule of law, free and fair elections, and our democratic republic — always.”
