Guam: GOP Takes Governor; Dems Flip Delegate

Early Tuesday results have Tony Ada ahead of Democrat Therese Terlaje by about three points in the Guam governor race, and Terlaje conceded, which saved everybody a few weeks of cable news. Democrats did take the House delegate seat: Alicia Anne Garrido Limtiaco beat incumbent Republican Del. James Moylan 51% to 48.8%, according to VoteHub. Trump cheered the governor result on Truth Social. The legislature is unicameral, so Republicans get a one-vote majority next term, which after thirty years of payroll I can tell you means one fella with a head cold decides the budget. Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero is term-limited, so the new governor inherits the books. Run the numbers. Then run them again, which is more than the spending crowd ever does.
