The Associated Press

Published: February 1, 2009

ORLANDO - U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam says he will give up his seat in Congress to become a candidate for state agriculture commissioner.

Putnam tells The Associated Press he will file paperwork to officially enter the race on Monday. He was the third most powerful Republican in the House until the last election, when he decided not to seek another term as chair of the House Republican Conference.

He now wants to return to Tallahassee, where he was elected to the state House as a 22-year-old.

The 34-year-old was first elected to Congress in 2000 and was the youngest member in the body at the time. His family has been farming in Florida for five generations.
