It is alleged that Duke conducted a direct-mail appeal in 1987 using the identity and mailing-list of the Forsyth County Defense League, in Georgia, without permission, which League officials described as a fund-raising "scam" (detailed in The Rise of David Duke by Tyler Bridges).

In December 1988, he switched political affiliation from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

In 1989, he ran as a Republican for a seat representing Metairie in the Louisiana House of Representatives. He defeated fellow Republican John Treen, the brother of David C. Treen, the first Republican to be elected Governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction, by a narrow margin of 51-49 percent. Duke's victory came despite appeals in favor of John Treen's candidacy by President George H. W. Bush, former President Ronald Reagan, and other notable Republicans
