The U.S. territory of Guam has elected the 2022 midterm cycle's first Republican candidate. As a territory, Guam can only send non-voting members to Congress. Notably, it has sent only Democrats to the halls of the U.S. Congress since 1993.
Now, Republican James Moylan will be its next delegate to the House of Representatives. Moylan defeated former Speaker Judith Won Pat by 1,648 votes out of 32,502 cast.
The Pacific Daily News has more:
Moylan earned 52.19% of the votes counted to Won Pat's 47.15%.
Moylan will fill the seat that incumbent Del. Michael San Nicolas will vacate in January.
San Nicolas lost to Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero in the Democratic gubernatorial primary in August.
With Moylan winning the race for Guam's non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, he will be the second Republican to be elected to the seat since Congress created it in 1972.
Last week, Democrats alleged that Moylan's campaign violated federal election rules by posting yard and lawn signs without the required disclosure notice.
Apparently, the technical concern expressed by Democrats wasn't shared by the voters of Guam.
