FORMER Lt. Gov. Kaleo S. Moylan quietly slipped away from public life and retreated into the comfort of his privacy, shunning media interviews after the Sept. 2 primary, in which he lost his bid for governor.
Although his career ended on a sour note as a result of his tiff with Gov. Felix P. Camacho, Moylan said he had no regrets.
“I enjoyed my four years as lieutenant governor and before that, my four years in the Legislature,” Moylan said in a reluctant interview with Variety after the inaugural ceremony for Camacho and Lt. Gov. Mike Cruz at the Plaza de Espana.
Camacho and Moylan had a falling out two years ago when the governor attempted to reorganize the Guam State Clearinghouse, which is under the lieutenant governor’s office. The relationship became worse when Camacho chose Cruz to be his running mate, prompting Moylan to run against his former partner in the primary with former Democratic Sen. Francis Santos as his running mate.
Both Republican teams’ political campaigns were well-tempered but not exactly without tension.  There was talk that after the primary, Moylan’s supporters shifted their loyalty to the Democratic team.
There was no public show of reconciliation between the two old pals, but Moylan said “we’ve always reconciled.”
“We’re only fighting in the press,” Moylan chuckled.
In his inaugural address, Camacho gave recognition to Moylan whom he referred to as “a gentleman” that he said he will always respect.
When asked if he had any message for the new administration, Moylan replied: “I wish everyone a happy new year and the best of luck. I know there’ll be many challenges, but by working collaboratively with the Legislature, they will be able to overcome these challenges.”
Moylan said he will make a public announcement about his plans in the near future.
