Who is This Tina Peters?
By Bob Small
Tina Peters has become the most famous graduate of the (non-credited) Clayton College of Natural Health. The former Mesa County, CO County Clerk (2029-23) was convicted in August 2024 of seven charges, four of them felonies. She was sentenced to nine years in prison for her role in what was ruled election fraud.
Her case has become a cause celeb. I came across her name in the resource section of the 2025 Bill of Rights Banquet program”
Tina Peters says she’s a political prisoner and that “Her imprisonment is not just about her—it’s an attack on anyone daring to question the status quo.”
She refers us to American Rights Alliance | Defending the Free Speech.
There’s a number of issues brought up in the media. The most important may be what the State of Colorado redacted from one of her letters from federal Prison.
Keep in mind that Tina Peters was convicted in a state court. Therefore, a pardon from President Donald Trump would not apply. However, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, while not discussing the correctness of her conviction, mentioned he was considering clemency due to age and the harshness of her punishment. Many states are trying to release older non-violent prisoners, worrying about medical costs, etc,. She has a parole hearing in September 2028.
The Colorado Attorney General said “The court’s decision was based on its determination that Ms. Peters used her position as an elected official to promote the allegations and fuel controversy about the reliability of elections” and opposes any clemency.
There’s the added question of whether Tina Peters was the perpetrator or the victim in a recent “prison incident”. Read the article and judge for yourself.
