## Key points

- Democrat Alicia Limtiaco flipped Guam’s House delegate seat.
- She defeated incumbent James Moylan by 51 per cent to 49 per cent.
- Republican Tony Ada was projected to win Guam’s governorship.

## Summary

Democrat Alicia Limtiaco defeated Republican incumbent James Moylan in Guam’s race for its non-voting delegate to the US House, giving Democrats their first seat flip of the 2026 midterms. The result matters as both parties compete for control of Congress, though Guam’s delegate cannot vote on final House passage of legislation.

Limtiaco won 51 per cent to Moylan’s 49 per cent; he had won with 52 per cent in both 2022 and 2024. In a separate contest, Republican Tony Ada was projected to become governor, winning 51.5 per cent to Democrat Therese Terlaje’s 48.1 per cent after eight years of Democratic control. President Donald Trump welcomed Ada’s projected win and said Republicans had a majority in Guam’s Senate; the results were still unofficial.
