Bio:

I am a lifelong resident of Guam and am the daughter of Rosemarie Underwood and David Silva. I am married to Philip S.N. Taijeron. I have one daughter, Maria Silva, and five step-children; Lauren, Philip III, Kristin, Alexandria and Barbara Taijeron. For many years I covered the issues as a radio and television reporter. As a senator, however, I quickly learned that covering the issues is totally different from working to solve the issues.

I, just like you, have high hopes for Guam and its future. However, positive change cannot come without hard work. As a government, we need to cut unnecessary spending and stimulate economic growth while working to preserve our natural resources and culture.

Most importantly, being a senator is primarily about serving and listening to the people of Guam. The knowledge I gained while covering the issues has helped understand my role as an elected official to serve and help the people of Guam. That's why I authored bills which cover a wide-range of issues including the preservation of the Chamorro language in our schools, ensuring efficiency in government services and assisting local businesses.

Throughout it all, I have kept the people of Guam first, because you deserve a government that listens to your concerns and does its best to serve you. If re-elected, I will continue to do my best for the people of Guam. I humbly ask for your vote.
