Micronesia Mall invites the island community to the "Meet the Candidates” event on Saturday, July 25, 2026 from 3:00PM to 6:00PM at the Micronesia Mall Center Court. This public outreach event offers voters a unique opportunity to connect face-to-face and speak one-on-one with individuals running in Guam’s upcoming 2026 Primary Election.
The free community event is designed for residents of all ages to engage directly with local political figures. Dozens of confirmed candidates from senatorial, congressional, and gubernatorial brackets will set up tables to share their platforms, answer questions, and hear directly from constituents about their visions for Guam's future.

With ‘Meet the Candidates’ taking place just one week before the primary election, this is a crucial opportunity for voters to meet the candidates face-to-face, ask meaningful questions, compare their priorities, and make informed decisions before heading to the polls. We encourage the community to visit Micronesia Mall, take part in these important conversations, confirm their voter registration, and make their voices heard in the 2026 election.” – Francis Lira, Operations & Finance Manager, Micronesia Mall
