The Colorado Democratic Party is the state affiliate of the United States Democratic Party in the U.S. state of Colorado. The state party chair is Patricia Waak, and the executive director is Sherry Jackson.
The remaining officers are: Dan Slater, First Vice Chair; Margaret Atencio, Second Vice Chair; Carolyn Boller, Secretary; Mark Ferrandino, Treasurer.
The Colorado Democratic Party is based in Denver, with a headquarters at 777 N. Santa Fe Avenue, in Denver. The governing body of the Party is the State Central Committee, which is comprised of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Democratic Party in each of Colorado's 64 counties, and "bonus" members for larger counties.
Each county party elects its officers between February 1 and February 15 of each odd-numbered year; the State Party then elects its officers in March of odd-numbered years.
The Colorado Democratic Party is responsible for arranging and staging the state convention in Presidential years and the state assembly every two years. The state convention selects delegates to the Democratic National Convention, as well as Colorado's two at-large Presidential electors. The state assembly designates candidates for statewide offices, including the offices of Governor, Attorney-General, Colorado, Treasurer, C.U. Regent At-Large, and United States Senator. The Party also adopts its platform at the state assembly.
The Colorado Democrats control both houses of the Colorado General Assembly, as well as the Governorship, as well as one U.S. Senator, former state Attorney-General Ken Salazar. In the 110th Congress, four of Colorado's seven Members of Congress are Democrats.
