U.S. Congressman Vance McAllister has jumped back into to a re-election campaign he aborted several months ago in the aftermath of a kissing scandal.

ULM Political Science Professor Joshua Stockley told the Louisiana Radio Network "Everything about Representative McAllister's ascendancy and career has been atypical to the beat of his own drummer, the fact that he is reversing course after saying he'd not seek election ...to seek election does not surprise me whatsoever"
McAllister won the 5th Congressional District seat in a special election last year. Republican leaders called for McAllister's resignation after a video appeared of him kissing a married woman at his office.
