Families across Guam are working harder than ever, yet too many are falling further behind. The cost of groceries, housing, fuel, and everyday essentials keeps rising, stretching household budgets and creating real uncertainty about the future. Mary is focused on lowering everyday costs by advocating for federal policies that reduce shipping costs, support small businesses, and reflect the true cost of living on Guam. She will push for decisions that make it possible for more families not just to get by, but to stay, grow, and build secure futures at home.

Guam has one of the highest rates of military service in the nation, yet too many who serve return home to barriers in care and unequal access to the benefits they earned. That is not just a policy failure. It is a duty our nation cannot ignore. Mary will work to expand VA access, reduce administrative barriers, and secure fair treatment for Guam’s veterans and their families. Our veterans kept their promise. The nation must keep its promise to them.

Too many young people believe the only way to build a future is to leave home. That loss is felt not just by families, but across Guam’s economy and community life. Mary is committed to expanding higher education pathways, workforce training, and sustainable job creation so young people can find real opportunity here. Staying on Guam should mean access to meaningful careers, economic stability, and the chance to build a life close to family and culture—not a limit on what the future can hold.

No family should have to wait months for treatment, travel off island for routine services, or struggle to find care at all. Yet for many on Guam, timely and affordable healthcare remains uncertain. Mary will work with local providers, community leaders, and federal partners to strengthen access to quality care, support the healthcare workforce, and expand the services families rely on most—so families can count on care being there when they need it.

The land and water that sustain our island are part of who we are—and part of what we must protect for the next generation. Environmental threats, infrastructure strain, and climate risks make long-term stewardship more urgent than ever. Mary is committed to securing federal support for resilience, protecting natural resources, and promoting responsible development that preserves Guam while strengthening its future.
