I recently had the pleasure of meeting with another candidate for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who is running in a contested Republican
primary against Lt. Governor Kottkamp and Holly Benson. Bondi is a long time prosecutor from the Tampa area and a relative newbie when it comes to politics. Bondi considers herself to be the conservative choice for AG in the race. She’s been traveling the state promoting her candidacy for the position and she was in town to speak to one of Broward County’s larger and more active Republican clubs, Southwest Republican club of Broward. Bondi strikes me as a very sharp and amicable person that comes across very genuinely. In our brief interview, Bondi explains her reasons for running for political office.
I am voting for Pam Bondi she is very bright and not a caree politican. Jeff Kottamp needs to go, he is Charlie’s minnie Me. See ya Charlie & Jeff your reign of terror is at an end!!!!!
Good interview Javier. Pam does come across as very nice and genuine. I didn’t think she actually answered your question about whether she would have voted “yes” on the law to allow citizens to bring their guns to work but leave them in their vehicles. She just repeated that she’s very pro-Second Amendment.
Maybe she was just a bit nervous being on camera, but I’m not convinced based on this interview that she’s the most qualified of the candidates in the AG race. I’ll reserve final judgement on that until I learn more.
Again, good interview Javier.
Pam is one of the most amiable candidates that I have met and had the pleasure to speak to. She is sincere and I believe most qualified for this position having been a prosecutor for 18 years. She strikes me as someone who will take a stand against the encroachment on our state’s rights by the ever expanding federal government.
When I see a stumble(and repeating “I support the second amendment” is a stumble)that conveys to me that the speaker is caught off message. One way to never be caught off message is to have core beliefs that guide your steps through the perverbial mine field of political inquest. If in-fact Pam did have strong feelings about the 2nd amendment then she would have spoken that exactly.
I posed a similar question to Lt Gov Kottkamp recently — his answer was surprising– rather than go into the swamp of carry and hunting and crime prevention he stated his opinion that the sole purpose as written in the 2nd was to insure the citizen the power to protect itself from the abuses of Govt -period. All other reasons and causes (though noble) in his opinon are secondary.
That is a core belief coming to the forefront. Like it or not thats how he feels.
Pam–you need to study a bit.
Pam has my vote!

The race for the office of the Florida Attorney General is the most important race this year.
The state of Florida deserves the best attorney general available. Party affiliation should matter less in this race than in any other race in this year’s election. When hiring an attorney, a person hires the best attorney available. Dan Gelber is the better candidate in this race. Dan Gelber has years of political experience, served 10 years as a top federal prosecutor, and is ranked amongst the best lawyers in the United States.
Pam Bondi, the republican candidate, is not well-known, has no political experience, is unwilling to debate Dan Gelber, and is running a campaign from her commentary position on Fox TV.
The citizens of Florida deserve the opportunity to intellegently vote for the better candidate. This position is too important to vote by commercial. Have your voice heard, your rights protected. Vote for Dan Gelber.
Florida needs a strong AG to fight BP. Dan Gelber!
