Abramoff tied to Guam election


By Gene Park

Federally convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff was linked to Guam's 1998 gubernatorial election, according to an article published in The Wall Street Journal Saturday.

In e-mails reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Abramoff had asked Tony Rudy, Rep. Tom DeLay's deputy chief of staff, to see if he could garner any assistance in helping the 1998 gubernatorial candidacy of former Gov. Joseph Ada and then Sen. Felix Camacho, now the governor of Guam, who ran against incumbent Gov. Carl Gutierrez at the time.

The report makes no mention of whether Ada and Camacho sought assistance from Abramoff, or if they even knew him.

Calls to Ada's home yesterday were not answered. Gov. Camacho's spokesman Shawn Gumataotao said he would try to have a response from the governor yesterday, but as of press time, no response was given.
