The 2018 Guam gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2018, to elect the next governor of Guam, concurrently with the election of Guam elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.[1]
Incumbent Republican governor Eddie Baza Calvo, was term-limited and ineligible to seek a third term in office.
Following a contested primaries on August 25, 2018, the Democratic Party nominated Lou Leon Guerrero, a former Bank of Guam CEO, territorial senator, and 1998 lieutenant gubernatorial candidate. She won the nomination over territorial senator Frank B. Aguon, who chose to run a write-in campaign in the general election. The Republican Party nominated lieutenant governor Ray Tenorio, who served under Calvo from 2011 to 2019. The campaign centered on issues including abortion rights in Guam, ethical matters, and the role of the tourism sector.[2][3] Leon Guerrero won a 50.7% majority in the general election against Tenorio, who received 26.4%, and Aguon, whose write-in bid received 22.8%. She became the first female governor in Guamanian history and the first Democrat to win the governorship of Guam since 1998.
