The governing body of the party is the State Central Committee, which consists of the chair and vice chair of the county Democratic Party in each of Colorado's 64 counties and "bonus" members for larger counties. In each odd-numbered year, county parties elect officers in February followed by the state party which elects its officers in March.
It is currently the dominant party in the state, controlling both of the state's U.S. Senate seats and all statewide executive offices, including the governorship. The Democrats also have a supermajority in the Colorado House of Representatives, and hold a majority of its U.S. House districts.
