Martin Guillory, also known as Big G, was the Congressman’s field director he had a phone number in Boustany’s D.C. The story about Boustany, however, is more like a footnote he could adequately be described as a minor character. After all, David Vitter, the man he sought to replace, was eventually brought down because of his associations with sex workers.
