| Description | Republican secretary of state candidate Pam Anderson responded to Monday's announcement that Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is entering the GOP primary for the seat with a call for a "return to professionalism" in the office and a vow to serve as a "fair referee" overseeing Colorado's elections.
Anderson, a former two-term Jefferson County clerk and past executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, has pushed back against unfounded claims made by Peters and others that the 2020 election was rigged against former President Donald Trump. Anderson has also criticized Democrat Jena Griswold, the incumbent secretary of state who is seeking a second term, for taking a partisan approach to election controversies that have landed the office at the center of disputes over voting and election procedures.
Peters launched her campaign Monday in an appearance on former Trump advisor Steve Bannon's podcast, where she said she intends to "put people over political theater and prioritize them over politics." Peters is the target of multiple criminal investigations by state and federal authorities into allegations she helped facilitate a voting equipment security breach last summer that led to system passwords and software being posted online. |
