Citizenship Test Answers for Guam

Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Guam.

Guam has no U.S. senators. Its representative in Congress is a nonvoting Delegate; naming that person is acceptable, and so is saying the territory has no voting representatives.

62. What is the capital of your state?

Answer for Guam

Hagatna

The capital answer does not change. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.

23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?

Answer for Guam

Guam has no U.S. senators. Saying so is the correct answer.

29. Name your U.S. representative.

Guam's Delegate now

James C. Moylan

Find your representative at house.gov

Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.

61. Who is the governor of your state now?

Answer for Guam now

Lou Leon Guerrero

Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable place to check.

Background on Guam

Hagatna is Guam's capital, a small city on the western shore, while Dededo has more residents; the island lies in the western Pacific, closer to Tokyo than to Honolulu. Guam is a territory, not a state, so it has no U.S. senators, and its seat in the House belongs to a nonvoting delegate — answering that the territory has no voting representatives is correct. It does have a governor, elected locally. People born on Guam are U.S. citizens by birth. The island casts no electoral votes for president, since electors go to the states and the District of Columbia. Guam also appears in the World War II history the test covers: Japan seized it days after Pearl Harbor, and American forces retook it in 1944.

This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
