Message from the Chair
Howdy, folks!
Shad Murib here, your new Chair of the Colorado Democratic Party. Firstly, thank you to Morgan Carroll for her years of leadership in the State House, the State Senate and as CDP Chair. Without her service to the state, Colorado — and the Democratic Party — would look very different.
Thanks to everyone who ran for Democratic Party leadership, including my fellow Chair candidates Tim Kubik and Howard Chou, two phenomenal Democrats who we are lucky to include among our ranks. And, congratulations to our new team of officers! I cannot wait to get to work with you.
Together, we will protect and grow our legislative majorities, end the era of Republican dominance at the local level, and provide our volunteers and organizers with world-class customer service.
I hope you’re all ready to keep Colorado a great place to not just be a Democrat, but to live, work, and play.
All best and go, fight, win—
Shad

Shad has over 15 years of leadership experience running Democratic campaigns across Colorado and serving in senior roles in non-profit organizations and various government offices and agencies. He and his wife, State Senator Kerry Donovan, also run the Copper Bar Ranch, a working cattle and beef ranch out of Edwards, Colorado.
A first-generation American born to immigrant parents from Lebanon, Shad was born-and-raised in Littleton, Colorado.
From his beginnings as his high school’s volunteer coordinator for John Kerry’s presidential campaign to his most recent experience as President of Ulysses Strategies, Shad has raised millions of dollars for the Democratic Party, built large organizations that achieved progressive results in Colorado and in Washington D.C., and has always put working Coloradans first.
Shad has served as State Director for Senator John Hickenlooper. Shad helped lead Hickenlooper’s successful 2020 primary and general election campaigns, and served on Governor Jared Polis’s 2018 campaign as Policy & Research Director. Shad also served as Chief of Staff for the Colorado Senate Democrats under the leadership of Leader Lucia Guzman, engaging with businesses, non-profit organizations, and political organizations to identify and achieve shared objectives that improved Coloradans’ quality of life, as well as crafting creative public affairs campaigns to influence media coverage of the General Assembly. During this time, he also led the caucus’s multi-million dollar campaign to elect Democrats to the State Senate, working with progressive stakeholders to run effective winning campaigns. Shad served as Campaign Manager for Donovan for State Senate, winning a race in rural Colorado that many had written off as a sure loss.
Shad also served as Government & Public Affairs Director for Secretary of State Jena Griswold, where they took on the special interests to bring transparency and accountability to our campaign finance system while expanding voter access across the state for college students, tribal members, people of color, and Coloradans with disabilities.
Shad has been at the center of some of Colorado’s highest-profile recent policy and political battles, including a restructuring of the state’s budget, drafting and passage of comprehensive campaign finance reform and the 2019 update to Colorado’s voter laws to expand access to the ballot for communities of color, tribal members, and young people.
