Republican House candidate Elbert Guillory released an ad explaining why he made the decision to switch parties, arguing the Republican Party is the home of abolition.
Louisiana House candidate Elbert Guillory released an advertisement explaining his decision to switch from the Democratic to the Republican Party, arguing it is the GOP that has the history of championing the rights of the Black community. 'It was the right decision, not only for me, but for all my brothers and sisters in the Black community,' Guillory said in the ad, explaining his decision.
Louisiana uses a majority-vote system, with all candidates, regardless of party, competing in the same election. If a candidate is able to get over 50% of the vote, that candidate wins the election outright. If no candidate is able to achieve the 50% mark, the two top candidates will then compete in a runoff election the following month. Guillory served in the Louisiana House from 2007 to 2009 and the state Senate from 2009 to 2016.
