Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 28, 2026 —
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister has not publicly commented on Amendment 3, a statewide referendum impacting public safety funding, while other local law enforcement leaders have urged voters to reject it, according to the information provided about the issue.
Chronister also received more financial support from Florida Realtors than any other Tampa Bay sheriff. Florida Realtors is described as a key backer of the amendment. The information does not specify the amount of support, when it was received, or how the comparison among sheriffs was calculated.
The two details place Chronister’s public silence alongside a financial connection to an organization supporting the referendum. They do not establish his personal position on Amendment 3. No statement from Chronister about the measure was provided, and the information does not say whether he has addressed it in a private setting.
Amendment 3 is described as a statewide referendum affecting public safety funding. The available information does not explain the measure’s provisions, how it would change funding, or when voters will consider it. It also does not identify the local law enforcement leaders who have called for its rejection or give their reasons.
The financial support is not detailed by amount, date, or form, and no campaign-finance records or other documentation were included in the information available for this article. The name of any specific Florida Realtors entity involved was also not provided.
As a result, the available details establish that Chronister has not publicly commented, that other local law enforcement leaders have urged rejection, and that Florida Realtors provided him more financial support than any other Tampa Bay sheriff. They do not provide enough information to quantify that support or determine what, if anything, it indicates about Chronister’s views on the referendum.
