The Collin County Blue Caucus is lucky to have some of the best activists in town in our membership. Jeff Quiggle is one of those activists. Jeff became engaged in political activism after the disastrous 2016 election and has never looked back. His support of local, statewide and national candidates is evidence that he doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk.

As Vice-President for the Plano Area Democratic Club, in partnership with other Democratic clubs, he has worked to showcase local and statewide candidates. Jeff is the Chair for Precinct 014 (north Plano) and is generous with his time and talents by organizing, hosting, and participating in canvassing efforts including phone and text banks and block-walking. He is the founder of Veterans for Beto, and if you follow the Collin County Democratic Party (CCDP), you’ve undoubtedly seen his and his team’s work as the Director of the Communications Team.

Jeff is a true blue Democrat and we are proud to have him on our team!

Diane Bolak is a true blue Collin Democrat. She eats, sleeps and dreams about ways to get Democrats elected. Diane is the current Vice Chair of the Collin County Democratic Party, but she has previously served in a variety of roles including Treasurer. She makes it clear that she believes in honesty, accountability and will stand up for what is right.

During this latest election season, Diane dropped lit at doors for approximately 2 hours every day and sent thousands of text messages to get out the vote with the Coordinated Campaign. She also picks up all of the jobs that are out of the limelight that keep the party going. For example, Diane was on daily phone duty including Election Day and the day before Election Day for the CCDP office during election season to answer volunteer and voter questions. She had the distinct “pleasure” of handling some of the phone calls from volunteers about problems with the distributed canvas lit drops and helped them troubleshoot the situation. Diane assisted with yard sign distribution and voting location sign distribution and removal.

Diane has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this party and is a mentor for many precinct chairs and party activists. She is always there to lend a hand and offer solutions.

The Collin County Democratic Party is truly better because of Diane Bolak. We are proud to share her accomplishments and to have her on our Blue Caucus team.

Sharon Stark is a bona fide super-Democrat. Her mission has been to educate voters since the first day she walked her precinct in 2017. Sharon writes a newsletter for her precinct which she distributes several times per year. Newsletter topics range from ballot propositions, Democratic candidates, voter registration, vote by mail, House District 33, Frisco Democratic Club events, and even making donations to Minnie’s Food Pantry. If she has your email, you can find your Precinct 117 Newsletter in your inbox. But, for good measure, she mails and hand-delivers them, too!

During the 2020 election—before the COVID-19 pandemic—she opened her home for candidate meet-and-greets, as a food bank drop-off location, as a post card depot, and for phone banks. Leading into November, Sharon, organized a group of 48 volunteers for what she called the “Frisco postcard project.” Together they wrote and delivered 7,635 postcards in the city of Frisco (they raised the postage funds, too!). When vote-by-mail became a major Democratic initiative, Sharon turned her attention county-wide and hand-delivered applications to senior citizens most in need.

If you are a Frisco Democrat without a precinct chair, you may have seen or heard from Sharon during election season because Sharon takes on the duty of blockwalking Frisco precincts without precinct chairs. She also is also a founder of a regional activist and precinct chair group which helps mobilize precinct chairs in activists in the Frisco and Plano area.

The Collin County Democratic Party is truly better because of Sharon Stark. We are proud to share her accomplishments and to have her on our Blue Caucus team.

In July 2020, members of the Collin County Blue Caucus worked with members of the Collin County Democratic Party Executive Committee to pass sweeping reform to Party. Its provisions sought to energize fundraising, simplify access to information by precinct chairs, strengthen voter protection, promote unified messaging, and strengthen diversity within the party. Despite opposition from the County Chair, this measure passed with 85% support.

In April 2020, the Collin County Blue Caucus ignited a spark in the Collin County Democratic Party's Coordinated Campaign. We sought out Blue Caucus members and supporters who are former candidates, campaign staffers, and activists to help mobilize the base of the Democratic Party. The Coordinated Campaign hosted dozens of phone banks, text banks, lit drops to mount an unprecedented come-from-behind effort. Their efforts continue as they host weekly phone banks to elect John Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock in Georgia.
