Bio:

Vicente Anthony Ada, or "Tony" as he is known to his island community is serving his first full term as a Senator in the 31st Guam Legislature and serves as its Minority Whip. He was elected to the 30th Guam Legislature in a special election held to fill a vacated position and served the remainder of that term.

His humble beginnings as the son of a local businessman and former Guam senator influenced Tony to continue his family's legacy of service. First, as an active duty service member in the U.S. Army, then as a private businessman for over 16 years before turning his skills toward government service.

In just one term as a legislator, Tony authored over a dozen laws dealing with economic development, open government, education, public safety and public health. He continues to focus his efforts on issues affecting the quality of life of the people of Guam.
