Morgan Lenore Carroll (born November 24, 1971) is an American politician from Colorado and was the Chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party. A Democrat, Carroll represented Colorado House District 36 in the city of Aurora from 2004 to 2008, and she represented the state's 29th Senate district from 2009 to 2017. Carroll served as President of the Colorado State Senate from 2013 to 2014 and as minority leader in 2015. Carroll stepped down as minority leader in July 2015 to unsuccessfully run against incumbent Republican Mike Coffman for Colorado's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Carroll chaired the Colorado Democratic Party from 2017 to 2023. During her tenure, the party achieved significant power by gaining or controlling all statewide executive offices and the state legislature, which ultimately led to Colorado turning from a swing state into a blue state.
In addition to her legislative work, Carroll works for the law firm of Bachus & Schanker.
