Kittleman and was appointed by Governor Bob Ehrlich (R) to fill his seat in the Maryland Senate. In 2006 Kittleman won re-election in a landslide against Democrat Richard Corkran. Widely viewed as a moderate, Kittleman frequently mediates between the liberal and conservative factions in the party.[citation needed] In 2010 Senator Kittleman defeated Jim Adams by a wide margin in the general election, he faced no primary opposition. On January 30, 2010 the Senate Republican Caucus again choose him to serve as Minority Leader with Senator David R. Brinkley as Minority Whip, who defeated Senator Nancy Jacobs. Senator Kittleman resigned as Minority Leader on January 18, 2011. Senator Kittleman is widely speculated upon as a candidate for Howard County Executive or Governor in 2014.
