Republican Tony Ada and running mate E.J. Calvo led Guam's governor's race with 15,945 votes to 14,925 for Democrats Therese Terlaje and Sabina Perez in unofficial results with all 59 precincts counted. Other races were also tallied, and results await certification.
Republican Tony Ada and his running mate E.J. Calvo won Guam's Nov. 3, 2026 race for governor, based on the unofficial tally. In the final unofficial results released by the Guam Election Commission at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, they had 15,945 votes (51.45%) to 14,925 votes (48.15%) for Democrats Therese Terlaje and Sabina Perez, a lead of 1,020 votes. All 59 of 59 precincts had been counted as of 1:30 a.m. The results remain unofficial pending certification by the Guam Election Commission.
Earlier in the night, with 21 of 59 precincts counted, Terlaje-Perez led Ada-Calvo by 80 votes, 5,243 to 5,163. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social congratulating Tony Ada on an early call for a Republican victory and said Republicans have the majority in the State Senate.
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero, a Democrat, was first elected in 2018, won reelection in 2022, and is term-limited. After eight years of Democratic leadership under her, Guam is poised to return to a Republican administration.
Democrat Alicia Limtiaco, a former Guam attorney general, led Republican incumbent Del. James Moylan for Guam's non-voting U.S. House delegate seat in unofficial results. She had 15,645 votes (51%) to his 14,983 (48.84%), a lead of 662 votes.
In the five-way attorney general race, Phillip Tydingco led with 11,583 votes (38.29%). Incumbent Douglas Moylan had 10,008 votes (33.08%), a margin of 1,575 votes.
In the Legislature race, Republicans held eight of the top 15 positions to the Democrats' seven, a reversal from earlier in the night. That would give Republicans eight seats to seven for Democrats in the 39th Legislature if standings remain unchanged after certification. Democratic Sen. Chris Barnett received the most votes among the 30 legislative candidates, with 19,783.
In the Guam Education Board race, John Taitano II received the most votes with 14,791 (32.34%), followed by Ronald McNinch Jr. with 12,503 and Isaiah Aguon with 10,251. In the Consolidated Commission on Utilities race, incumbents Simon Sanchez, Michael Limtiaco and Francis Santos held the top three spots with 14,624, 13,773 and 12,408 votes.
A total of 31,414 ballots were cast, representing 53.11% of Guam's 59,146 registered voters. The Guam Election Commission will convene Nov. 19 to count off-island ballots, and election results are pending certification. Ada and Calvo led by just over 1,000 votes in the unofficial count.
