'''Dudley Anthony Guglielmo, Sr.''' (April 21, 1909 – July 30, 2005), was the [[Louisiana]] state insurance commissioner from 1964 to 1972. He served two terms until he was denied renomination in the 1971 [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] [[primary]] by Sherman A. Bernard, a house mover from Westwego in Jefferson Parish. Bernard won the position on the premise that Louisiana residents were paying too much in [[insurance]] premiums and that Guglielmo had presumably did little to stop the rate increases.

Guglielmo succeeded Rufus D. Hayes as insurance commissioner in 1964. Hayes did not seek a second elected term in the position. Among the losing candidates were State Representative Jack M. Dyer of [[Baton Rouge]] and state Senator Speedy Oteria Long (1927-2006) of LaSalle Parish, the choice of [[John J. McKeithen]], the successful gubernatorial candidate that year. Speedy Long went on to serve in the [[United States House of Representatives]]. The Long-Guglielmo rivalry reflected the split in the Long ranks which had surfaced in the first primary held in December 1963. Guglielmo carried the backing of defeated gubernatorial candidates Shelby M. Jackson, [[Robert F. Kennon]], Claude Kirkpatric (1917-1997), and Gillis William Long.<ref>''Minden Press'', November 4, 1963, p. 12.</ref>​
