Elbert Lee Guillory (born June 24, 1944)[1] is a former member of the Louisiana State Senate. An American Republican, he represented District 24, including his native Opelousas, and several rural precincts, from May 2, 2009, when he won a special election, until January 11, 2016, when his full term to which he was elected in 2011 ended.[2]
Guillory's Senate district was previously briefly represented by the Democrat Don Cravins, Jr. It encompasses most of St. Landry Parish and a northern part of adjacent Lafayette Parish.[3] Guillory defeated Patricia "Pat" Arceneaux Cravins (born 1947) of Arnaudville, the mother of Don Cravins, Jr., in the special state Senate runoff election held on May 2, 2009, 7,906 votes (62.5 percent) to 4,746 (37.5 percent).[4]
Guillory previously served from 2006 to 2009 as state representative for District 40. In that position he had also succeeded the Democrat Don Cravins, Jr., whose father, Don, Sr., was also a former state senator and a mayor of Opelousas.[2][5]
