Democrat congressional delegate candidate Alicia Limtiaco, left, and incumbent Republican congressional delegate candidate James Moylan, after their participation in the Guam Chamber of Commerce's 2026 Congressional Forum, hosted at the Hilton Guam Resort & Spa in Tumon on Oct. 28, 2026.

Del. James Moylan issued a statement around 3 a.m. Wednesday to congratulate Alicia Limtiaco on winning the congressional race after unofficial results show she got more votes.

Democrat candidate Alicia Limtiaco held on to her early lead over Republican incumbent Del. James Moylan at the end of the night. Limtiaco had 15,645 votes, 51% of votes cast, to the 14,983 cast for Moylan, who held 48.84% of the vote.

"First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Alicia Limtiaco on her victory in this year's General Election. Alicia ran an honorable campaign, and I have great respect for her dedication and commitment to serving our island," Moylan said in a statement.

"The people of Guam have spoken, and I respect their decision. Elections are a vital part of our democracy, and while we may have different perspectives and ideas about the path forward, we all share a common love for our island and a desire to see our people thrive," he added.

Moylan said Limtiaco has his full support she prepares to take on the responsibility of representing Guam in the United States Congress.

"My office and I are fully committed to ensuring a smooth and productive transition, and we stand ready to provide whatever assistance is needed to help her begin her service on behalf of the people of Guam," he said.

He thanked his family, the campaign team, volunteers and everyone who stood beside him and said he is deeply humbled by their dedication, encouragement, and countless sacrifices.

"Now is a time for unity. Regardless of where we stood during this election, we are all one Guam. The challenges facing our island are bigger than any one candidate, political party, or election, and moving forward will require us to come together with mutual respect and a shared commitment to our future," Moylan said.

He said for over 40 years, he has had the honor and privilege of serving the island, from his military service to the Guam Legislature and now in the United States Congress.

"Every chapter of that journey has been guided by my love for Guam and the people who call it home. Serving as your representative in Congress has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I will forever be grateful for the trust you placed in me," Moylan said.

As he completes his term, Moylan said his commitment to Guam remains unchanged.

"I will continue to carry out my responsibilities with the same attention, dedication, and respect that this office and our people deserve. I wish Alicia and her team every success. When Guam succeeds, we all succeed. Un dångkolo na si Yu’os ma’åse. God bless you all and God bless Guam," he said.

This is what happens when you only work for veterans and old people and forget the rest of your electorate.

It is too late to save America, or Guam.
