Former Senator Mary Camacho Torres made her campaign for Guam’s Delegate official today, marking the moment on what would have been the 101st birthday of her father, former Governor Carlos Camacho.

Torres said Guam is facing an urgent affordability crisis, with families overwhelmed by rising housing costs, medical bills, and grocery prices. She emphasized that many of these challenges are shaped by federal policy—problems Guam didn’t create but lives with every day.

She said a more effective voice is needed in Washington to push for meaningful relief for island residents, noting that without stronger advocacy, the federal failures weighing on Guam will continue.

Torres highlighted her bipartisan track record in the Guam Legislature, where she authored nearly 40 laws—cutting taxes for 90 percent of small businesses, expanding paid parental leave, increasing foster home capacity, and strengthening protections for survivors of violence.

She said her candidacy is rooted in delivering results, not headlines, and that the true measure of the delegate’s work is whether life becomes more affordable, whether young people see a future on island, and whether manåmko’ and veterans are treated with the dignity they deserve.
