 | | Robert William "Bob" Kostelka (born February 18, 1933) is a former district attorney, district judge, and circuit judge, and, currently, a conservative Republican state senator from Monroe, Louisiana, who has represented Ouachita, Lincoln, and Jackson parishes in Senate District 35 since 2004. |
 | | One of his colleagues, Robert Adley, a Democrat from Bossier City in Bossier Parish, affectionately referred to Kostelka as "my lawyer." Adley's remark came when Kostelka slipped Adley a note during debate, which said that a compromise on an oil cleanup bill was almost completed, and the issue then before the Senate should be tabled. |
 | | In 2004, in his first term in the Senate, Kostelka sponsored an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution to limit the meaning of "marriage" to the union of one male and one female and to forbid same-sex unions. |
