[constituency_baseline] District summary: Guam is a U.S. territory in the western Pacific with a population of approximately 168,000 (2020 Census). The island's economy is driven primarily by two sectors: military/defense spending (approximately $2.2-2.9 billion annually) and tourism ($1.4 billion economic impact in 2024). Guam hosts significant U.S. military presence including Andersen Air Force Base and Naval Base Guam, with ongoing military buildup including Marine relocation from Okinawa. The median household income is lower than the U.S. mainland average, with average hourly wages at $21.39 compared to $32.66 nationwide (May 2024 BLS data). Guam has among the highest cost of living in the Pacific region and is vulnerable to typhoons and seismic activity, having received over $1.3 billion in federal typhoon recovery funds since 1997. Tourism is recovering from pandemic impacts, reaching 782,840 arrivals in 2025 (up 5.8% from 2024) but still below pre-pandemic levels. The island has approximately 49% of its workforce in federal/civilian government positions, making federal employment stability critical to the local economy.

Moylan publicly championed Guam's defense importance at committee hearings while simultaneously voting for spending cuts that could reduce federal disaster recovery and civilian workforce funding Guam depends on. The defense rhetoric conflicts with supporting legislation that could diminish the federal civilian infrastructure Guam's military-economy relies upon.

Expected position: Following devastating typhoon seasons affecting Guam infrastructure, Moylan as delegate would be expected to comment on federal disaster recovery funding timing Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During this quarter, Moylan missed 89.5% of House votes (34 of 38 roll calls), one of the highest absentee rates among current representatives. While he was active in committee work and media appearances on defense matters during this period, he did not make public statements about delays in federal typhoon recovery funding that local media reported as affecting small businesses.

Expected position: As Guam's sole congressional delegate whose district depends on federal civilian employment and defense infrastructure, Moylan would be expected to actively advocate for housing allowance improvements for Guam's federal civilian workforce Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During this window, Moylan made public statements at House Armed Services Committee hearings about defense sales and Guam's security importance. He also publicly urged the Secretary of Defense to fast-track housing allowances for Guam's federal civilian workers, demonstrating he was active on defense workforce issues. However, he did not issue any statements addressing reported delays or frustrations from civilian workers about housing allowance processing times during this period.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
