As a state legislator Jeff Kottkamp had warm relations with Florida's free market community, including the libertarian-oriented James Madison Institute, and various tax fighting groups on the Space Coast. The Palm Beach Post even labeled Kottkamp a "libertarian free marketeer." In 2004 he was tapped to be Charlie Crist's running mate on the Republican ticket.

Now, a rather surprising move on his part.

From NewsMax:

He wouldn’t indicate who he supports in the Republican primary for Senate between Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio.

“They’re two very dynamic people. It will be a very fun race to watch,” Kottkamp said. “They both have strengths and weaknesses.”

Kottkamp is currently seeking the Attorney General's office.

In the same interview he reiterated his support for Constitionalist principles:

"[Obama] continues to look for government solutions when we all know … that private sector free mark solutions are what’s going to work."

As for healthcare, Kottkamp agrees with current Attorney General Bill McCollum’s plan to sue if the Democrats’ reform plan passes.

"It’s clearly a violation of the 10th amendment," Kottkamp said. "If the federal government can force you to buy healthcare, they can force you to do anything."
