Kottkamp Stays with GOP Instead of Crist

Submitted by Kevin Derby on April 29, 2010 - 6:02pm

Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp may have been Crists running mate in 2006, but he is off the Crist band wagon in 2010.

I hope the Governor's decision today to run for the United States Senate as an independent candidate, rather than as a Republican, will have no impact on our personal relationship, said Kottkamp. However, as a lifelong Republican I am committed to supporting my party and the principles I have fought for my entire life. I will support the Republican nominee for United States Senate.

Kottkamp is running for the Republican nomination for attorney general.
