HOUSTON, Texas - Today, the Cruz for President Campaign announced the endorsement of Governor Eddie Calvo of Guam. Calvo is in his second term as the elected Republican governor of Guam, the critically important U.S. territory in the Pacific. He will serve as the Guam chairman of Cruz for President.
"I’m honored to have the support of Governor Calvo,” said Cruz. “He is a proven leader, who hasn’t been afraid to fight Washington to ensure a better, brighter future for Guam.”
"Ted Cruz is listening to voters in Guam like no other candidate,” said Calvo. “He uniquely understands the issues facing not just Guam, but other Pacific Islanders. Guam will proudly vote to nominate Cruz as our party’s nominee at the Republican National Convention.”
Calvo previously served five terms as a senator in the Guam Legislature, where he served as vice speaker, acting speaker and chairman of the legislative finance, public works and health committees. Calvo has a bachelor’s degree from the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California.
As Governor, Calvo is a strong fiscal conservative and champion of the Second Amendment and has set in place strict fiscal reforms to pay down and refinance Guam's huge budget deficit. He has operated with consecutive budget surpluses.
In February 2014, Calvo signed Bill 146, which made the Castle Doctrine the law in Guam. Additionally, in May 2014 Calvo signed Bill 296 into law, which changed language for concealed firearms licensing from “may” to “shall”, meaning that concealed firearm licenses shall be issued to an applicant who meets the various specifications.
Governor Calvo is fond of saying his family and faith are his "rock," the foundation of his life. They have supported him throughout his political career, which began when he successfully campaigned for the Guam Legislature in 1998.

Guam? Okaaaay.
Oh man we are rolling now!
Didn’t Guam capsize a few years back?
Hank Johnson to investigate.
First Glenn Beck, Now The Governor of Guam! Hot Damn! Ted is on A Roll!
Meanwhile, in Alberta....
“Meanwhile, in Alberta” The Calgary foreign born?
Ted showing off his endorsements is like some kid so proud of his baseball card collection... 95% of the cards are of players nobody has ever heard of.
#GuamMatters! It’s out in the middle of nowhere ready to tip over at any moment. They’re so good a picking delegates that their votes gave the Kenyan the nomination last time so how do they explain this new direction? I smell a RAT. Most likely they throwing in with Cruz to take away votes for Trump.
Faleomavaega, the senator for American Samoa was the “mop man” who bought up and hid records for hussein in Indonesia. Puetro Rico is begging for the US to save their sorry economic butts with a big check from the taxpayers. Yeah, those territories are doing us a lot of good.
Here are just a few of the US Government Funded programs in Guam:
Federal Programs that Make Direct Payments to Individuals
Federal State Programs
Supplemental Security Income
Consolidated Grants to the Territories
Unemployment Compensation
Child Support
Foster Care and Adoption Assistance
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families
Railroad Benefits
Trade Adjustment Assistance
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Child Care
Social Services Block Grants
Federal Benefits and Services for People with Low Income
Federal Benefits for Non-Citizens
The future of US government hand-outs around the world are in question, to say the least, with Trump, who promises to reduce spending and the deficit. Look next for Dem push to make grant Puerto and these other three territories statehood.
In other words: status quo for the Washington Elite Oligarchical Class.
BENEFITS FOR NON CITIZENS?!?!? What the...?
Tuaua FAQ - We the People Project
The flag of the US of A flies above Guam, as it does in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
57 states.
Nevertheless I'm glad to see this (and pleasantly surprised as well).
| ...Ted is on A Roll! I did a little check. Based on Wikipedia numbers, the Territory of Guam has a population (165K) -- a little bit smaller than that of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Guam is not a State but does send a delegation to the Republican convention. Looks like a mighty good place for candidates to relax after a bitter cold New Hampshire primary... |
“Guam, where America’s day begins...”
Has had a problem tipping over but the military resolved it after being notified by a congressman.
