The Colorado Democratic Party is the state affiliate of the United States Democratic Party in the U.S. state of Colorado. Its chair is Rick Palacio, and its executive director is Alec Garnett.
The remaining officers are: Beverly Benevidez Ryken - First Vice Chair; Vivian Stoval - Second Vice Chair; Carolyn Boller - Secretary; Sherry Jackson - 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 consists 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.
