The public record of changes
Changelog
Every reader-visible change to this site, newest first. Nothing is ever changed silently; the full edit history is public.
Following the August 1, 2026 primary, each candidate's record now shows a factual note of whether they are on the November 3 general-election ballot: "Advanced to the Nov 3 general," "Did not advance past the Aug 1 primary," or, for the Attorney General race, "On the Nov 3 general ballot (no primary contest)" — that race is decided only at the general election and is never subject to a primary cut. On the scoreboard, candidates who did not advance are listed after those who did, within the same race table and the same template; their names and every answer cell keep full contrast, so every record stays fully legible (no candidate is hidden or grayed out). Across the covered races, 32 candidates advanced, 9 did not, and 4 Attorney General candidates are general-ballot-only. This adds a ballot-status note and reorders the non-advancers within each table; no candidate's answers, conditions, statements, or wording were changed. Ballot status reflects unofficial Guam Election Commission results as of August 2, 2026, and will be confirmed against the certified results.
The 21-day response window closed on July 8, 2026 (11:59 PM ChST). Every candidate who did not respond by the deadline is now recorded and displayed as "No response," with the same visual weight as an answer. Of the 45 candidates in the covered races, 26 responded and 19 did not. The following are recorded as No response: for Governor & Lieutenant Governor, the Tenorio ticket (Joshua Jess Franquez Tenorio); for Attorney General, Douglas B. Moylan and Phillip J. Tydingco; and for the Guam Legislature, Amanda Lee Shelton, Angel Reyes Sablan, Anthony Wayne Cruz Taijeron, Brandon Michael Vera, Clynton E. Ridgell, Donna Rita Muna Quinata, Fred E. Bordallo, Jr., Hoa Van Nguyen, Jesse Anderson Lujan, Louisa Jean Borja, Matteo Thomas Mortera, Robert L.G. Benavente, Shelly Vargas Calvo, Telena Cruz Nelson, Vincent Anthony V. Borja, and William Mark Alkonga Parkinson. Their status changed from awaiting reply to No response. No answers were changed.
Published Joaquin Paulino Taitague's response to the questionnaire (Legislature), received July 8, 2026. He answered Yes to all eight questions, shown on his page and reflected on the scoreboard. Several answers included accompanying commentary — clarifying notes on Questions 2 and 8, supporting context on Questions 3 and 6, and a qualification on Question 4; none was submitted as "Yes, with conditions," and under the format rules a plain Yes carries no published text while only a "Yes, with conditions" answer may include a verbatim condition, so the answers are recorded as plain Yes without the commentary. He submitted no optional statement, so his page shows the answers without a statement section. His status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
Updated Gregorio Salas Calvo's Question 5 condition at his request, using his one permitted revision before the deadline. His Question 5 answer remains "Yes, with conditions"; the condition text now reads "I am committed to funding OPA based on the truth that it is the Guam Legislature's final responsibility for appropriations of all funds, the oversight over the budgets, and it's scope of coverage each fiscal year.", replacing the wording shown earlier: "With the condition that it is the truth based on the Guam Legislature's final responsibility for oversight over the budget and it's scope of coverage each fiscal year." His other seven answers are unchanged, and the earlier wording remains in this changelog and the public history.
Published the San Agustin–San Nicolas ticket's response to the questionnaire (Governor & Lieutenant Governor), received July 8, 2026. The response was submitted on the ticket's behalf by the Committee to Elect San Agustin San Nicolas 2026; a confirmation was requested from the candidates directly for the record. The ticket, Joe Shimizu San Agustin for Governor and running mate Dwayne Thomas Diaz San Nicolas for Lieutenant Governor, answered Yes to all eight questions, shown on the page and reflected on the scoreboard. No optional statement was submitted, so the page shows the answers without a statement section. The ticket's status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
Added Jordan Pauluhn's condition text for Questions 5 and 6, which was withheld when his response was first published because it ran over the 50-word limit. He emailed shortened versions of both conditions, each now within the limit, and they are published verbatim beneath his "Yes, with conditions" answers. His answers are unchanged; this adds the previously-withheld text. His earlier over-length wording remains in the public record.
Published Jordan Pauluhn's response to the questionnaire (Attorney General), received July 7, 2026. He answered Yes to Questions 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8, and "Yes, with conditions" to Questions 2, 5, and 6. For Question 2 the condition text is within the 50-word limit and is shown verbatim beneath the answer. For Questions 5 and 6 the condition text runs over the 50-word limit (53 and 54 words); under the format rules an over-length condition is published only once the candidate provides a version within 50 words, so for now each shows "Yes, with conditions" with no condition text beneath, and his answer stands as submitted. On the scoreboard Questions 2, 5, and 6 read "Yes, with conditions" rather than a plain Yes. An optional statement was submitted and is published verbatim on his page. His status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
Published the Ada-Calvo ticket's response to the questionnaire (Governor & Lieutenant Governor), received July 5, 2026. The emailed reply, sent by Vicente Anthony "Tony" Borja Ada from his own email and signed "Team Ada-Calvo" for himself and running mate Edward "E.J." John Calvo, answers Yes to Questions 1, 2, 3, and 6, and "Yes, with conditions" to Questions 4, 5, 7, and 8 — for each of those four, the ticket's verbatim accompanying text is shown beneath the answer. On the scoreboard those four read "Yes, with conditions" rather than a plain Yes. No optional statement was submitted, so the page shows the answers without a statement section. The ticket's status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
Published Alexander Michael Duenas's response to the questionnaire (Legislature), received July 3, 2026. He answered Yes to Questions 3, 4, 7, and 8, and "Yes, with conditions" to Questions 1, 2, 5, and 6 — for each of those four, the candidate's verbatim accompanying text is shown beneath the answer. On the scoreboard those four read "Yes, with conditions" rather than a plain Yes. He did not submit the optional statement, so his page shows the answers without a statement section. The response was sent from the candidate's own email address. His status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
Published Telo Teresa Taitague's response to the questionnaire (Legislature), received July 2, 2026. The response was submitted on her behalf by her campaign committee, "Friends for Telo"; a confirmation was requested from the candidate directly for the record. She answered Yes to Questions 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8; "Yes, with conditions" to Questions 4 and 5; and No to Question 7. For Questions 4 and 5 she marked "Yes, with conditions" without providing condition text, as the questionnaire allows, so each is shown as "Yes, with conditions" with no further text beneath, exactly as submitted. On the scoreboard Questions 4 and 5 read "Yes, with conditions" and Question 7 reads No. Her Question 7 answer included an accompanying explanation; under the format rules a plain Yes or No carries no published text, so Question 7 is recorded as No without that text. She did not submit the optional statement, so her page shows the answers without a statement section. Her status changed from awaiting reply to answered.
