Hannah Goodman served two terms as chair of the Colorado Libertarian Party, the state's largest minor political party. During her tenure, she oversaw significant membership growth and fundraising increases and brokered a strategic agreement with Colorado Republicans to support GOP candidates in close races. Goodman comes from a family with deep rural Colorado roots dating back to the late 19th century in Phillips County on the Eastern Plains, with a legacy of agricultural and political involvement.
In 2024, she ran on the Libertarian ticket against Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. Under her leadership, the Libertarian Party filed a lawsuit demanding the decommissioning of compromised voting machines and previously won a legal victory requiring voter roll cleanup by the Secretary of State.
Goodman co-founded the Chainsaw Caucus, a nonpartisan grassroots coalition dedicated to cutting through government overreach. The coalition successfully stopped the veto override on SB 86, a social media regulation bill that Governor Polis had vetoed for compelling platforms to act as judge and jury.
In October 2025, after ending her second term as party chair, Goodman announced she was switching her voter registration to the Democratic Party, citing a desire to restore balance to Colorado politics and reclaim what she described as the party's historic principles of coalition-building and support for working-class and rural communities. She is a mother of six and a project manager based in Holyoke, Colorado.

“It's hard to have a fair, unbiased election without partisan support, right? And while the Libertarian Party is not as powerful as the two major parties, including the GOP, we still are a relevant political force, and our candidates deserve equal partisanship in handling a fair and unbiased election.”
