Chronister stated there is “more work to be done” for netizens in the county.
“Over the past few days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and many initiatives I am committed to fulfilling,” the Sheriff added. Chronister promised to stay sheriff and thanked for the nomination.
