James Moylan: 关岛作为美国领土,在国会拥有非投票代表,其战略地位对美国至关重要,但许多国会议员甚至都不了解关岛的位置。关岛位于印太地区,是美国在亚洲方向的第一道防线,战略地位重要,尤其是在应对来自中国和朝鲜的威胁方面。关岛在历史上和现在都具有重要的战略地位,二战期间曾被日军占领,目前正经历着大规模的军事建设,以增强美国的防御能力,威慑潜在的冲突。七月二十一日是关岛的解放日,是关岛最重要的节日,纪念二战期间被日本占领后获得解放的历史。关岛人民对国家安全问题高度关注,因为关岛是重要的战略目标,经常面临来自朝鲜和中国的威胁。由于关岛距离华盛顿特区遥远,他需要花费大量时间往返于两地,以处理国会事务和选民服务。区分中国共产党和中国人民非常重要,不能将两者混为一谈。中国共产党实施的压迫性政策与中国人民的愿望相悖。关岛居民通常被称为“Guamanians”,也可以被称为“Chamorros”,大多数居民会说英语和查莫罗语,但查莫罗语的使用正在减少。邀请国会议员访问关岛,有助于他们了解关岛的战略重要性、军事建设以及生活成本等问题。由于时差的原因,他需要灵活安排工作时间,以更好地服务于关岛的选民。关岛的经济主要依赖于旅游业和军事存在,新冠疫情对旅游业造成了严重打击,但军事建设和旅游业的复苏正在帮助经济恢复。他在众议院军事委员会和自然资源委员会任职,这两个委员会都与关岛的利益密切相关。
