His story
Chalan Kanoa. Second chances. Service.
“I am running because I know I can help rebuild our economy, lower the power bill and grocery bills, and help our community get the treatment and recovery it needs for a safer community.”
The first thing he'll do: “Work hard to lower the cost of utilities, food and gas.”
Why there's no fundraising: “After two super typhoons, with so many families still suffering, we decided not to fundraise. I'm running because I feel the calling to help.”
Governor and Lieutenant Governor: Crispin Manglona Sablan supports the Attao–Villagomez ticket.
