bondi-ag-logo-2010Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi announced today that she will join the growing field of Republican candidates for state attorney general.

“Today, it’s clear to me that our state and our families are facing unprecedented challenges, and what we need are courageous leaders who are not afraid to tell the truth, make a real difference, and stand up for you,” Bondi said in a news release. “After 18 years as a prosecutor, I am announcing my candidacy to seek the Republican nomination for attorney general.”

Bondi joins Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp and former Florida Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Holly Benson in the race for the Republican nomination. Democratic candidates include state Sens. Dave Aronberg of Greenacres and Dan Gelber of Miami Beach.
