Positions
Economy & Taxes
Joe San Agustin has consistently backed tax relief measures, including lowering gas taxes, extending gas tax relief, and expanding business privilege tax exemptions for small businesses. He has also supported property tax deferral measures and other relief-focused tax bills, while some later actions suggest a practical, case-by-case approach rather than an anti-tax ideology.
Healthcare
Joe San Agustin said Guam people deserve access to adequate healthcare and described a tax-funded universal healthcare system as having advantages. He did not give full support for single-payer at that time and said he wanted to work with entities and professionals and do thorough research before introducing legislation.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Joe San Agustin described himself as anti-abortion and said he could not support measures that lack exceptions for rape, incest, or medical necessity to save a life. His stated view allows abortion in limited circumstances rather than supporting a broad ban.
Climate & Energy
Joe San Agustin co-introduced legislation to create a virtual power plant program, with findings emphasizing Guam’s reliance on imported fossil fuels and the growth of renewable energy opportunities like solar. He also sponsored energy-relief and power-sector measures, including an energy credit extension and legislation tied to power plant and battery storage infrastructure, which points to a focus on energy affordability and grid reliability rather than a clearly defined climate agenda.
Public Safety & Guns
Joe San Agustin has supported expanding self-defense protections, including bills to expand Guam’s castle doctrine and stand-your-ground provisions. He also supported a law adding police precincts to the list of places where firearms may not be openly or concealed carried, which points to a mixed position on gun regulation and public safety.
