Alicia believes public service begins with listening to people, understanding the challenges families face, and working toward practical solutions that improve everyday life.

Her extensive experience as an attorney for the government and private sector and her ongoing roles with international advocacy groups have shaped Alicia’s perspective on a wide range of important issues.

After graduating from the UCLA School of Law in 1990, Alicia started her legal career as a clerk for Superior Court Judge B.J. Cruz. She later worked as a prosecutor for the Guam Attorney General’s Office and in 2007 was elected as the island’s first woman attorney general. President Obama in 2010 appointed Alicia as U.S. Attorney for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, where she served for more than six years. Most recently, Alicia has worked with the island’s courts, helping shape policy and holding the island’s attorneys accountable to professional standards.

Alicia has been our representative to the Pacific Indigenous Women’s Network, the Guåhan Coalition for Peace and Justice, the International Indigenous Women’s Forum, and I Hagan Famalåo’an Guåhan. Those groups work to address human rights, the environment, self-determination, and hunger, among other issues.

Throughout her career, Alicia has worked closely with the people and communities of Guam, advocating for issues that matter to working families — from affordability and access to healthcare to economic opportunity and community support. Through those experiences, she has heard directly from parents struggling with rising costs, young people uncertain about their future, seniors navigating complicated systems, and small business owners trying to keep up with growing challenges.

Those conversations shaped her belief that leadership should focus less on politics and more on making life work better for the people it serves.

Alicia is running for Congress because too many families are working harder than ever and still feel like they are falling behind. Rising costs, housing challenges, limited access to services, and economic uncertainty are placing real pressure on families across Guam. She believes people deserve leadership that understands those realities and is focused on practical solutions that make a difference in everyday life.

Her priorities include lowering everyday costs, expanding access to healthcare and essential services, supporting small businesses, strengthening workforce and educational opportunities, and ensuring federal resources create real benefits for local families and communities.

Alicia also believes Guam deserves a stronger voice in the decisions that affect its future. She is committed to advocating for fairness, accountability, and investments that strengthen opportunity while protecting the values and community ties that make Guam home.

At the heart of Alicia’s campaign is a simple belief: People deserve more than constant struggle. Families should be able to build stable lives, raise their children with confidence, and see a future for themselves right here at home.

That is what Alicia is fighting for.
