(September 14, 2018 – Hagåtña) We are very sad to see Speaker BJ Cruz leave the Legislative Branch and thank him for his tremendous service to our people. During his work as a lawmaker over the years, Speaker Cruz led with a rare combination of vision, courage and compassion. We look forward to great things for our island community as he continues his service to our people as the newly elected Public Auditor of Guam.

During this transition, and in the three-and-a-half months remaining, we must continue to work hard and work together in the Legislature for the benefit of the people of Guam. I am committed to doing my best in whatever capacity that is necessary and to be forthright about what we are facing going forward.

In the interim as Acting Speaker, I kindly ask that all official messages for the Speaker or the Legislature be transmitted to my office at the Guam Congress Building to ensure the appropriate distribution of information to all senators and the public.

Mandated electronic transmittals of reports or official messages and communications should be sent to speaker@guamlegislature.org. Unless otherwise directed by the Acting Speaker, all official messages, reports, or other documents received at this email address for the Speaker or the Guam Legislature will be posted on the Guam Legislature website under Messages and Communication. (http://www.guamlegislature.com/34th_mess_comms.htm)

All electronic communication intended for the senatorial office of Senator Therese Terlaje or the Committee on Culture and Justice should be sent to senatorterlajeguam@gmail.com.

My office is located at Guam Congress Building, 163 Chalan Santo Papa, Hagåtña, Guam 96910. Please do not hesitate to call (671) 472-3586 if any questions or concerns.
