Mary Camacho Torres calls for answers after a House Armed Services Committee amendment to the FY27 NDAA advanced a nuclear microreactor pilot program for the Indo-Pacific. She notes Rep. Jill Tokuda raised concerns about potential deployment in Pacific communities, including Guam, while Delegate James Moylan did not speak during debate. Torres asks when the office learned of the amendment, what was done before markup, and why Guam’s interests weren’t raised on the record.

Mary Camacho Torres says debates prove whether candidates can think in real time, defend their record, and trust voters with unscripted questions. After the delegate declined a primary debate, she argues voters deserve direct answers on SNAP, immigration, SSI, and RECA—issues affecting families, workers, and survivors. Torres says she’s ready to debate anytime, anywhere, because debates aren’t for candidates—they’re for the people of Guam.

Mary Camacho Torres calls on Delegate James Moylan to explain why nearly 7,000 Guam residents are now at risk of losing SNAP benefits despite earlier public assurances there would be no cuts. Citing ABAWD work requirements and expanded federal eligibility rules, Torres urges clear answers on what changed, what protections were pursued, and what actions are being taken now. She also calls for a public briefing for affected residents.

Mary Camacho Torres says Delegate Moylan’s office has not provided clear answers on whether Guam-specific immigration relief was requested from USCIS in response to the new policy. She argues the issue is adjustment of status—not the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver—and warns stricter processing could force lawful workers to leave Guam, disrupting families, employers, and the workforce. Torres calls for a direct public update on what steps, if any, have been taken.

Mary Camacho Torres requests an immediate public update on a USCIS policy memo (PM-602-0199) that could change Guam’s immigration process by restricting adjustment of status on island. She warns lawful workers may be forced to leave Guam to continue pursuing permanent residency—disrupting families, employers, and key industries like health care, construction, and tourism. Torres asks what relief has been sought and calls for clear guidance now.

Mary Camacho Torres joined Democratic candidate Alicia Limtiaco at a Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce forum to discuss rising costs, childcare access, and small business opportunity. Torres emphasized that real success is measured in families’ pocketbooks—not press releases—and reaffirmed her call for public debates ahead of the Republican primary, saying voters deserve direct answers and an open comparison of priorities.

The Torres for Congress Committee responds to the delegate’s press release with a call for public accountability. Debates, the statement argues, exist for voters—not politicians—and candidates should answer hard questions on RECA, SSI, and results in office. Senator Mary Camacho Torres says she remains ready to debate anytime, anywhere so Guam’s people can hear the record, weigh the answers, and decide.

Mary Camacho Torres argues Guam can’t afford misstatements on the national stage. She points to recent congressional hearings where inaccurate claims and messaging gaps weakened Guam’s leverage on security, deep-sea mining, and critical federal priorities. With Guam’s influence often shaped by these moments, she says effective representation requires preparation, precision, and follow-through—so Guam is understood in Washington, not consistently misheard.

Mary Camacho Torres congratulates Port Authority of Guam employees on securing federal funding to replace aging ship-to-shore gantry cranes. She says the award reflects years of persistence, planning, and disciplined execution—and underscores the Port’s role in Guam’s economy, supply chain stability, and Indo-Pacific readiness.

As Easter invites reflection, Mary Camacho Torres points to “Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16) and applies it to public service. She addresses RECA—why Guam was excluded despite evidence of nuclear fallout exposure and high cancer rates—and argues that real results require early, persistent work in Congress, not last-minute attention when the calendar is nearly closed.

Torres Launches Congressional Campaign Focused on Affordability, Security, and Opportunity (February 6, 2026) Standing before a packed room of supporters at Capitol Kitchen, Mary Camacho Torres officially launched her campaign for Congress Thursday night with a clear message: Guam needs stronger representation, real accountability, and leadership that delivers affordability, security, and opportunity for everyday families. In her remarks, Torres spoke directly to the pressu

Fifty-five years after Guam overcame the “brain drain,” families are leaving again—pushed out by rising costs, stagnant wages, and a shrinking path to homeownership. Mary Camacho Torres reflects on Governor Camacho’s era of building opportunity and argues today’s pressures are tied to federal policy: outdated GMH reimbursement rates, shipping laws, and Congress forgetting Guam unless we fight to be counted. Guam needs a delegate focused on results that let families stay, vete

A new year calls for hope—and honesty. Year after year, Guam is told the NDAA delivers “wins” worth hundreds of millions or even billions. But press releases celebrate big numbers without explaining what was invested or how it helps families. Defense projects are planned years in advance, long before the bill hits the floor. So the real test is simple: are housing, shipping, airfare, health care, and veterans’ services better? If not, it’s crumbs—not a meal. We should ask wha

In Washington, if you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu—and Guam was almost dinner. After a scare that threatened millions in federal mental health and substance-use treatment funding, families, veterans and people in recovery were reminded how fragile our lifelines are. The cuts were reversed, but reversal isn’t leadership. From duty-free changes and shipping costs to deep-sea mining concerns, Guam needs representation that fights early in Congress and delivers results
