Deleon Guerrero to run again for House
After losing only by three votes in the 2007 elections, Fredrick P. Deleon Guerrero yesterday said he will run again as Precinct 5 member of the House of Representatives in the November polls.
Deleon Guerrero will run as an independent candidate.
“A lot of the feedback I get from the community is that we need change in government. I think I can assist in making that change,” he said.
His focus will be in improving education services, along with protecting the Retirement Fund and enhancing the economy.
When he lost by three votes in 2007 to Rep. Edward Salas, Deleon Guerrero did not request for a recount. “I respect the peoples’ votes,” he said. At that time, there were nine who ran for two available seats in the precinct.
House Floor Leader Joseph Camacho said he supports Deleon Guerrero’s candidacy because of his hard work, dedication and experience. He said Deleon Guerrero is also a choir member and PTA president at Chacha Oceanview Junior High School.
Deleon Guerrero, who was Camacho’s campaign chairman in 2007, earned his bachelor’s degree in American Studies at the University of New England in Maine.
He now works as a legislative aide at the Legislative Bureau. He was a former insurance administrator, a teacher at Kagman High School, and a former staffer of former U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine.
Deleon Guerrero, who is married for 20 years to his number one supporter, Maecy Reyes Deleon Guerrero, is father to three children, all students in Kagman.
