President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday afternoon he's nominating Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister to be the next Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

In 2017, then-Governor Rick Scott appointed Chronister to lead the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, and he has been re-elected three times. “I think he's a great pick,” said Brian Boyd.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has enthusiastically endorsed Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister’s nomination as the next Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a decision made by President Donald Trump.
