Lawmakers discussed a bill to get rid of the primary election this morning. Bill 45 would eliminate the need for a primary election and allow the GEC to hold only a general election.
Guam – Senator Joe San Agustin said his bill 45 was designed to make it easier for new candidates to run for office by eliminating the primary election.
“The current primary process is designed to minimize competition against the political parties. The bill would encourage more people from all walks of life to run for elected office. This bill corrects a financial wrong. As it is set up now the purpose of the primary election is to select candidates to represent the Republican and Democratic parties. That is a function of the parties and not a function that should be paid for by the taxpayers,” said Senator San Agustin.
Senator Mike San Nicolas believes that the primary is actually a good experience for new candidates. “I actually found the primary election to be a very informative process as a new candidate. You know you kind of go through that primary it gives you that first round of trying to figure out where you stand,” said Senator San Nicolas. The Senator also says the primary allows a candidate to analyze the election data to determine what his or her strengths and weaknesses are.
Vice-Speaker Therese Terlaje said she is concerned about how a last minute elimination of the primary could affect the next election which is just around the corner. “Its 2017. October 2018 is right around the corner. We’ve got a huge election coming up in 2018 and I’m very nervous about changing that particularly in the gubernatorial race at this stage,” said Terlaje. The Vice-Speaker also said she’s not confident that the parties are even prepared to hold their own primaries or determine for themselves who will represent them in the general election. “I think that the possibility that this leaves open and I think it’s very possible between now and the election that the parties develop a different system that nobody knows about right now and I guess that’s my concern. I would like to know what exactly we are getting ourselves into for the 2018 election which is right around the corner,” said Terlaje adding, “I think what was being implied is that there was a danger there depending on who controls the party at the time will select their own candidates and not really be open to the fact that perhaps other candidates within their own party who are not favorably viewed by the party chair or the controlling committee right will then not have that opportunity to proceed forward. However, the argument by the author of this bill there is the provision within the law or at least this proposed measure to allow candidates to run as independents and that in itself I think has merit.”
Bill 45 was placed in the voting file.
