In 1967, Guglielmo won a second term as insurance commissioner. He defeated four intra-party opponents, John W. Davidson, Jack Simpson, a young insurance agent and a member of the Natchitoches Parish Police Jury;<ref>Jack Simpson advertisement, ''Minden Press-Herald'', October 13, 1967, p. 4.</ref> Raymond C. Wingate, and the [[conservative]] state Senator William Spencer Myrick of Oak Grove in West Carroll Parish. In Guglielmo's second term, several insurance companies failed to pay claims in a timely manner and forced the insured to accept lower amounts by with-holding payment until the insured was desperate. Guglielmo worked to require claims be paid more faithfully and also backed the claims of numerous insurance agents against a number of the companies. His failure to clarify and advertise these actions may have cost him a third term.

In 1971, Guglielmo faced the combined competition of once again John W. Davidson as well as Jerry Galliano and Sherman Bernard. Guglielmo was defeated in a runoff election by Bernard, who subsequently went to prison for [[extortion]] in connection with his insurance commissioner duties. Guglielmo subsequently ran an agency which serviced insurance companies.

In 2004, Guglielmo was inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame in the Longs' native Winnfield.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lapoliticalmuseum.com/inductees.php|title=Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame (2004) |publisher=Louisiana politicalmuseum.com|access date=March 11, 2019}}</ref> "I'm just very honored to even be here", said Guglielmo, a 42-year state employee, upon his induction into the museum. "I had no idea they had such a place. This goes back to Huey P. Long," whom Guglielmo described as "the best campaigner I ever saw. He would get out in those trucks with the horns and get his message to people. Today, politics has changed. They do it on TV".
