Betsey Wright is accused of trying to smuggle tattoo needles, a box cutter, a knife and tweezers into the Varner Supermax Unit while visiting a death-row inmate in May.
The 66-year-old Wright entered the plea in a court filing in Lincoln County Circuit Court.
The filing by defense attorney Jeff Rosenzweig also waives next week's scheduled arraignment for Wright and asks for a jury trial.
Rosenzweig declined comment Wednesday other than to say Wright's defense is that she's not guilty.
Wright was Clinton's chief of staff for seven years and worked on many of his campaigns.
