McKenrick changes plea, sentenced

Former House District 75 candidate Tim McKenrick pled guilty to a single felony count of deceptive election practices and received a sentencing during a hearing on Wednesday, March 29, for actions taken during the May 2022 Jefferson High School election.

McKenrick, a Boulder resident, received a two-year deferred sentence – during which time he will be under probation – and will be required to pay a $180 fee for administrative charges. After a year of probation, McKenrick’s lawyer Matt Stevenson told The Monitor the case could be dismissed and sealed.

The charge stems from the mail ballot McKenrick submitted in the May 3 election for the Jefferson High School Board of Trustees. The election was conducted entirely by mail ballots. Hours after allegedly forging a signature on his ballot, McKenrick told voters in a candidate forum, “You wouldn’t be able to read mine. There’s too many people that can forge really well.”
