Constitutional Convention
After his legislative defeat, Fulco rebounded to win a position as delegate to the Louisiana Constitutional Convention held in 1973.
The delegates wrote the Louisiana Constitution, which voters approved in 1974. Fulco's colleagues included future U.S. Representative and Governor Charles E. "Buddy" Roemer, III, then of Bossier City, future U.S. District Judge Tom Stagg of Shreveport, and Robert G. Pugh, a Shreveport lawyer who advised three governors and wrote much of the section on local and state government in the Constitution. Another delegate was House Speaker E.L. Henry, the man whose position Fulco had informally sought early in the previous year.
