INITIATIVES

  • Encourage effective collaboration between the Legislative Body and the Governor of Guam to evaluate and implement necessary improvements at Guam Memorial Hospital while awaiting legal frameworks to be completed for a new hospital

  • Support funding for our public safety agencies, (the Guam Police Department, and the Guam Fire Department)

  • Foster effective collaboration between the Legislative Body, the Governor of Guam, the Guam Police Department, and the Attorney General of Guam to combat the ongoing drug epidemic. Continually conduct inspections at ports of entry.

  • Government expenditures should be meticulously monitored and supported by comprehensive measures to
    guarantee accountability in both the allocation and utilization of public resources.

  • Consolidating departments and agencies can lead to savings in public funds, allowing for increased allocation to other essential government functions.

  • The core of our island's attractiveness is rooted in its visual appeal. To further elevate this, it is essential to implement systematic measures for maintaining cleanliness across the island, encompassing routine litter removal along roadsides, scheduled management of vegetation, and the regular cleaning of public park restrooms. Our sister island (Saipan) is in a financial crisis, however they manage to keep Saipan clean!

  • Ensuring safe road conditions necessitates substantial financial resources; nonetheless, prioritizing the maintenance of streets, roadway markings, and demarcation lines is essential. The significance of road safety cannot be overstated.

  • To amend Guam law to reduce the number of Senators from 15 to 9, and transition their roles to part-time legislative positions, thereby generating significant budgetary savings that can be reinvested into critical public services such as Guam Memorial Hospital (GMH) and the Guam Department of Education (GDOE).

  • To amend Guam law to limit Senators to four consecutive two-year terms (totaling eight years), fostering political renewal and encouraging broader civic participation. The Organic Act of Guam grants the Legislature authority to set its own rules, making this reform legally feasible.

  • Departmental Efficiency Audit Bill: Mandate a biennial review of all government departments to identify redundancies and recommend mergers.
