Guam gubernatorial debate focuses on hospital funding and legislative action
What happened
During a Guam Medical Association gubernatorial candidate debate, Republican candidate Ada criticized the 36th Guam Legislature for not overriding a veto five years ago, which he claims would have allowed the new hospital to start sooner. Democratic candidate Therese Terlaje countered that Ada has also been in office for two years and noted that the Legislature has appropriated millions of dollars to the hospital since 2020.
