After having worked on many state and local Democratic campaigns, and as an intern for Colorado Rep. David Skaggs, Postal was elected to represent Colorado on the Democratic National Committee in 2004. He is vice-chair of the DNC's Western Caucus. Postal bought into the HCM group, as a principal in October 2006, which in early 2007 was renamed Strategies,LLC. Strategies, LLC is a pension and investment consulting firm located in Lodo. In 2008 Postal was bought out by the owner due to differences in the direction each wanted to take the company.

In February 2007, Postal was named the Colorado campaign director and spokesman for the presidential campaign of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.

As a member of the Democratic National Committee, he is a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. After Richardson dropped out of the presidential race, Postal was heavily lobbied by the campaigns of both New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, including personal calls from Bill and Chelsea Clinton and Obama supporter Federico Peña.
