A third candidate under the Democratic ticket has entered the Guam Delegate race ahead of the Aug. 3 primary election.

Former Congressman Michael F. Q. San Nicolas confirmed late Wednesday that he picked up a packet from the Guam Election Commission hoping to make a return to Washington.

"It is with great humility that we make ourselves available once again to serve if our people will so have us," said San Nicolas.

"Kathy, Kaleb, Keke and I talk often about what we know our island and people deserve, and that everyone's lives and futures should be filled with greater opportunities - we want this for Guam. It is our hope and belief that the island shares this vision, and that we all know the only way to achieve this is to make it happen with true grit and unrelenting determination.”

San Nicolas will go up against Democratic candidates Ginger Cruz and Sen. Amanda Shelton in August.

The candidate with the most votes in the primary will advance to the general election.

Incumbent Del. Jim Moylan is the lone Republican candidate confirmed, so far.

The GEC will begin accepting candidate packets on Feb. 26.
