Guillory’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Today I am relaunching my bid for Congress I ask everyone in 5th congressional district to come together Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free," Introduction from Allen Guillory for Congress: The Fifth Congressional needs something different. We need someone who has had hardships, obstacles to cross, and one who knows our culture of the Fifth District. It's hard work, dedication, and the desire to never give up. We need a Warrior and a Fighter, someone who will speak the truth with President Trump and who will not be afraid to stand up on any topic. Congressman Ralph Abraham is a friend of mines, and he has done a wonderful job with President Trump. We need someone that will continue to keep America Great, and that person is Allen Guillory! At fifty years of age I have travelled all around the United States, have seen and talked to individuals who came from various walks of life. Within all of my life’s experiences there are two things that have not changed until now (COVID-19). That is politics and Education. The Fifth Congressional District are made of people who work hard, keep God close, and love thy neighbors. As a nation, we will need someone who can continue to keep others inspired to do so
I will make sure that we as a district get our fair share of infrastructure (roads, bridges etc.) Most Importantly, I will do everything in my power to help President Trump to keep our economy going. Please join me in this fight this November in keeping America Great! Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christs who strengthens me." [6] |
