For months I have repeatedly reached out to you, both publicly on X and via direct message, offering to share critical forensic evidence and firsthand details from the Tina Peters case. I have identified myself as the lead forensics expert involved in her matter and have provided my phone number twice. You have not called. (you can easily check
@realtinapeters page to see how involved I've been).
You repeatedly dismiss further engagement, characterized my outreach as 'demands and tantrums', questioned my motives and association, then directed any input to a general campaign email. According to your attempted dismissals, your team is “solid on what we’ve learned” and has “no need to inquire again.” Do you really think that's going to work? Do really you think I'm going to fall for that one?
A candidate for Governor of Colorado should welcome accurate information on a case involving election integrity and the imprisonment of a 70-year-old former public official attacked by the very corruption you claim to be running to fix. And your public position on Tina has flip-flopped from day one. How can anyone trust you at this point? And refusing to examine available evidence from a long-time Colorado resident directly involved in the case raises legitimate questions about whether your stance is based on complete facts or political positioning. Do you think Citizens in Colorado don't see that?
Now I'm starting to see why people are questioning your intent and integrity...
1) You initially stated in a private meeting that you believed Tina Peters was guilty and were reluctant to issue a pardon, only later shifting your stance.
2) You publicly claimed a General Michael Flynn endorsement, which Flynn’s team clarified was never given and asked you to stop promoting. (and I checked with Mike myself and confirmed directly to me that he did NOT endorse you)
3) Critics, including ministry watchdogs and opposition researchers, have documented concerns regarding transparency in your ministry’s high-risk mission claims, financial efficiency ratings, and unverifiable personal testimony elements.
These instances, combined with your current refusal to take a brief call from a constituent offering case-specific evidence, create an incredibly concerning pattern of shifting positions, overstated associations, and avoidance of direct accountability. And you want to run for Governor???
Coloradans deserve a governor who demonstrates integrity, willingness to engage with facts, and respect for citizens who seek to provide relevant information, especially on issues central to trust in government and elections. Repeatedly dismissing such outreach while campaigning on servant leadership and election integrity sends the opposite message.
I remain available for a direct call at any time. My number has already been provided to you twice. A single phone call would allow me to present the evidence, answer your questions, and clarify my background as a 50 year Colorado resident and election/cyber-security subject matter expert. No Zoom, no intermediaries, just a conversation between two Colorado residents; one claiming to run to represent the other.
If you choose not to call, that decision will stand as a public indicator of how you handle constituent input and potentially inconvenient facts. And I will see to it that voters are informed enough to assess for themselves whether this reflects the transparency and leadership Colorado needs.
Time will indeed tell—through your actions in the coming days. And no, I'm not going to 'just leave it there'. Instead, I'll start by waiting here for your call.
