Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, September 1, 2026 — Hillsborough school board candidate Brittany Lyssy is responding to public questions and online speculation concerning her residency within the district. The scrutiny follows the surfacing of property records related to her husband, which have drawn attention given her official voter registration is linked to a condominium in Tampa.

Lyssy has publicly stated that she has resided full-time within the district since 2024. She emphasized her strong local connections as a counterpoint to the concerns being raised about her residency status. According to her statements, Lyssy views these residency questions as an attempt to divert attention from more substantive issues.

The situation highlights the importance of residency requirements for candidates seeking elected office in local governance. Official voter registration serves as a primary indicator of residency, but questions can arise when other property ownership or living arrangements are brought to light.

Details regarding the specific property records that have surfaced, the precise nature of the speculation, or the exact timeline of Lyssy’s move into the district beyond the year 2024 were not provided in the available information. Lyssy’s campaign has indicated her commitment to serving the district and addressing the concerns directly.
