Robert William Kostelka, usually known as Bob Kostelka (born February 18, 1933), is a former district attorney, district judge, and circuit judge, and, currently, a Republican member of the Louisiana State Senate from Monroe. As state senator, he has represented Ouachita, Lincoln, and Jackson parishes in District 35 since 2004. He was unopposed for a second Senate term in the October 20, 2007, nonpartisan blanket primary. Kostelka retired from his circuit judgeship in 2003, when he reached the age of seventy, as required by an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution of 1974.
Kostelka endorsed U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. He told delegates at the state convention in Baton Rouge on February 16, 2008, that they should coalesce behind McCain, who trailed former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas in the February 9 Louisiana presidential primary. "Can you believe the United States is on the verge of electing Barack Hussein Obama or the wife of Monica's ex-boyfriend?", a reference to Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern who had an affair with former U.S. President Bill Clinton. "It's enough to make you want to cry," the Monroe Republican continued.
