The final unofficial results for the 2024 primary election has been confirmed by the Guam Election Commission. 

The race to watch was the three Democrat candidates vying to take on a seat in Washington D.C. as Guam's representative. 

Former news woman Ginger Cruz was the victor in the race garnering just more than one thousand votes over candidate Amanda Shelton. Former Congressman Michael San Nicolas had the least votes among the three.

Cruz will go up against the incumbent Del. James Moylan, a Republican who is currently serving his first term. 

All candidates in the senatorial race for the 38th Guam Legislature got enough votes to advance to the general in November. 

The top primary vote getters under the Democratic ticket were Therese Terlaje, Chris Barnet, Joe San Agustin and Tina Muna Barnes.

The GOP candidates to receive most votes include Tony Ada, Sabrina Salas Matanane, Frank Blas Jr., and Jesse Lujan. 

A total of 15 of the 25 candidates will ultimately be elected to serve in the legislature. 

Several mayoral races were highly contested as multiple longtime mayors decided to retire from their positions. 

The GEC will meet to certify the results below ahead of the Nov. 5 general election. 

The community is encouraged to participate as the primary race was met with very low voter turnout.
