Allen West Headed to Louisiana to Help Elbert Guillory

Former U.S. Rep. Allen West will be going to bat for fellow African-American Republican Louisiana state Sen. Elbert Guillory later this month. Heading out to Louisiana on Sept. 29, West will be attending fundraisers with Guillory in Lafayette and Baton Rouge that day. Guillory had been a registered Republican his entire life before jumping over to the Democrats to run for a heavily Democratic state House seat. Earlier this year, with much national media attention, Guillory switched back to the Republicans.

Despite losing his seat in 2012, West continues to remain politically active. Earlier this month, he promised to support 14 conservatives running for Congress through his Allen West Guardian Fund PAC.
