01 Open checkbook

Will you vote for legislation requiring a searchable online database of all government of Guam expenditures, and for the appropriations to build it?

02 Procurement sunlight

Will you vote to make online posting of solicitations, bid abstracts, award decisions, contracts, and amendments above $25,000 a statutory condition of payment under the Guam Procurement Law?

03 Sole-source accountability

Will you support a public quarterly report listing every sole-source and emergency procurement, the justification invoked, and the approving official, by name of office?

04 FOIA performance

Will you support penalties for agencies that fail to file the annual reports the Sunshine Reform Act already requires?

Penalties should focus on agency accountability and corrective action, not punish frontline employees for failures outside their control. Agencies should be given notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies before penalties are imposed.

05 Auditor independence

Will you commit to funding the Office of Public Accountability at no less than its own requested budget, and oppose any appropriation that reduces OPA funding below the prior fiscal year?

06 Audit findings have deadlines

Will you commit to holding an oversight hearing on any agency with audit findings open for more than one year?

07 Merit in hiring

Will you support legislation requiring that disclosure government-wide?

08 Open meetings

Will you require every board and commission within your authority to post agendas, minutes, and recordings as the Open Government Law contemplates — and support real consequences for bodies that do not?

Consequences should be meaningful and encourage compliance while recognizing legitimate technical, staffing, or legal limitations. The goal should be transparency and accountability, not punishment for good-faith administrative challenges.
