Combined, these four elected officials have amassed more than 100 years of public service to Collin County residents. Come January 1st, they go back to being private citizens themselves.

We thought it only fitting to offer them one last goodbye and one last word of thanks for putting so much of their lives into the development of Collin County during its incredible transition into one of the best places to live and work in the country. We couldn’t have done it without you:

• Phyllis Cole, Commissioner, Precinct 1: 20 years.
• Charles Sandoval, the first judge to preside over the 380th District Court: 12 years.
• Gerald L. (Jerry) Kunkle, Constable, Precinct 1; 40 years.
• Bob Bell, Constable, Precinct 3: 32 years.
