Guam Elects Republican to Congress for First Time in 30 Years

Red wave rolls through Guam.

From RT:

While the continental US is still voting in the midterms, the island of Guam in the western Pacific has already announced its election results, on Wednesday morning local time. Democrats have managed to hold onto the governor’s mansion and the legislature, but the territory’s non-voting delegate in the House of Representatives will be a Republican. 

James Moylan received 52.19% of the vote, Pacific Daily News reported, citing Guam’s election authorities. He is only the second Republican to represent Guam in Congress since the delegate position was created in 1970. Vicente Tomas Garrido Blaz was the first, serving from 1985 to 1993.

Moylan defeated Democrat Judith Won Pat, who received 47.15% of the vote. Her father, Antonio Borja Won Pat, was the island’s very first congressional delegate, elected in 1972. 

Democrat Michael San Nicolas, the current delegate, retired to run for governor but lost the primary to Governor Lou Leon Guerrero in August.
