“In such a short time, [Lt. Gov. Hofschneider] and Gov. [Eloy S.] Inos have managed to restore strength in our people and trust in our government. It was an honor to be a small part of [this] administration and I thank [the lieutenant governor] for the invaluable opportunity [he has] given me to serve on [his] team. I extend my sincerest appreciation for [his] guidance throughout the years, and [his] unwavering support in my pursuing a higher education,” Aguon said.
Hofschneider said he is grateful for Aguon’s service and wishes him the best in law school. “I have always encouraged our youth to pursue professional careers, and when Anthony let me know of his intentions to attend law school I gave him my full support. I applaud him for his ambition and look forward to his return to the CNMI, so that he may serve the community in a new capacity.”
