  • Summary

  • In the first installment of the Oral History of Amendment 10, we discuss the past efforts that abolished the elected Office of Sheriff in several counties, and how, over many decades, sheriffs fought to regain their positions.

    Then, in 2017, a new state senator from Miami-Dade County introduced a bill to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot, ensuring that all voters could elect their sheriff.

    We revisit our audio archives to explore this significant bill, learning how it progressed through the legislative process through featured compelling testimony from sheriffs and others in committee, yet ultimately failed to pass by the session's end.
