Guam - The We Are Guahan organization has sent a survey to all candidates running for office this year about issues related to the military buildup.  Specifically, the survey asks candidates to share their views on the Department of Defense expanding beyond its existing footprint, the potential destruction of reef at Apra Harbor, the potential economic benefit of the buildup, and funding for impacts on services that much of our community relies on, such as the hospital, public schools and roads.

Member Cara Flores-Mays told KUAM News, "The buildup and the decisions that our elected officials make will impact everything on this island and will impact everyone in this community, and so the goal of the survey is just for voters to make an informed choice in the upcoming elections."
