Guam Chamber Gubernatorial Forum RECAP

On Wednesday, September 7, 2022, the Guam Chamber of Commerce held a Gubernatorial Forum featuring Governor Lou Leon Guerrero (Incumbent) and Former Governor Felix Camacho. The Forum touched on a number of issues including crime, tourism, cost of living, education, and government procurement. Both candidates held their positions well, articulating their accomplishments from their respective administrations and pledging to move the economy forward should they become elected. We thank both candidates for their participation and wish them both well moving into the general election.
