Guam Governor

The Guam Governor is the leading public executive of Guam, a U.S. territory located in the western Pacific Ocean. This role is focused on enforcing local laws and drafting a yearly state budget while spearheading numerous initiatives to help improve Guam's economy and quality of life for its residents. He or she is responsible for overseeing local departments and agencies, and works with both the local legislature and U.S. federal government on policy matters. The governor is elected by popular vote and serves a four-year term with eligibility for reelection. As Guam is a U.S territory, the governor's actions may be overseen by the U.S Secretary of the Interior.
