Assessments
The promised outcome was specific: placing a Guam political-status plebiscite on the November 5, 2024 general-election ballot, contingent on adequate public education. Official Guam Election Commission 2024 general-election materials and results did not list any political-status plebiscite or ballot-measure result. Guam officials were still discussing the path forward in May 2024, and later 2025-2026 Guam legislative activity shows the issue remained unresolved after the deadline. The record does not show Moylan personally passing, sponsoring, or materially advancing an enacted measure that placed the plebiscite on the 2024 ballot, so this was not delivered and does not merit an effort badge.
The promised outcome was specific: place a Guam political status plebiscite on the November 5, 2024 general election ballot, conditioned on adequate public education. Official Guam Election Commission information and post-election results for the 2024 general election do not show any political status plebiscite or ballot-measure result. The governor's May 17, 2024 statement also indicated the government was still seeking a path forward. Existing Guam law provides a framework for a future plebiscite, but that does not satisfy the promised 2024 ballot placement. The record provided does not show Moylan made a serious legislative or executive attempt that materially advanced the promised ballot placement, so no effort badge is warranted.
The promised outcome was to place a Guam political status plebiscite on the 2024 general election ballot if elected and if adequate public education occurred. The provided election evidence indicates the November 5, 2024 general election materials and official results did not include a political status plebiscite or ballot-measure result. A May 17, 2024 governor's office statement also described the plebiscite effort as still needing a path forward, not as placed on the ballot. Existing Guam law establishing conditions for a future plebiscite does not satisfy the specific promise to place it in the 2024 general election. The record provided does not show a serious legislative or executive attempt by Moylan that failed, so the effort badge is not warranted.
