Alicia Limtiaco Leads Guam’s Congressional Race as Moylan Congratulates Her
Alicia Limtiaco leads Guam’s race for its House seat with 51% of the vote, according to final unofficial results.

Moylan congratulated Limtiaco and said he respects voters’ decision.
Limtiaco, a Democrat and former Guam attorney general, would replace Moylan, who won the race in 2024.

Off-island ballots are due to be counted Nov.
19, and the results will remain unofficial until the Guam Election Commission certifies them.
