His previous positions include serving as a senior advisor to the Republican Party of Texas' 2008 Texas Victory effort, which oversaw the re-election of many Republican officials from Senator John Cornyn down to local judicial races.

Colby got his start working in the office of the Texas Secretary of State where he worked alongside Secretary of State Williams to promote economic development, investment and job creation in Texas.

Colby proudly serves as member of the Board of Directors for the Congressional Sports for Charity Foundation, a cause very dear to him since the 2017 Congressional GOP Baseball Practice shooting. Additionally, he also serves on the Dallas Safari Club’s Government Affairs Council.
