From TampaBay.com:
One of Gov. Charlie Crist’s top health care advisers abruptly resigned her state job Thursday, a strong signal that Republican Holly Benson plans to run for attorney general.
If, as expected, Benson seeks the Cabinet post, she will be challenging Jeff Kottkamp, the man Crist picked as his lieutenant governor in 2006.
Benson, secretary of the Agency for Health Care Administration since February 2008, sent her employees an e-mail in which she announced her resignation.
She cited “some opportunities that lie ahead, and I regret that because of those opportunities I will no longer be able to serve as your secretary. I have submitted my resignation.”
