The blue wave came ashore yesterday.

On Guam, a U.S. territory with over 160,000 people, Democrat Leon Guerrero was elected governor to replace two-term Republican Eddie Calvo. It represents the first Democratic pickup of the midterms.

For the territory’s non-voting delegate seat, Democrat Michael San Nicholas won election after beating longtime incumbent Madeleine Bordallo in the primary.

Although non-voting delegates don’t vote on final passage, they do participate in committees and, when Democrats have been in control of the House, they have been allowed to participate in certain procedural floor votes.
