“Hillsborough County is safer as a result,” DeSantis continued. “I congratulate Chad on his nomination and look forward to him taking on the drug cartels on behalf of the American people.”
Similarly, Grady Judd, who is sheriff of Polk County, Florida, congratulated Chronister, referring to him as “an outstanding professional law enforcement administrator who has done a brilliant job running a very large agency in a diverse and thriving community.”
“Chad knows how to go after the bad guys and he will make sure the DEA is focused and highly effective. Our country will be safer as a result of his leadership,” Judd said.
Chronister also received an endorsement from the Florida Sheriffs Association.
