Democrats. He also targeted the Republicans, saying that they did nothing to improve the slumping economy. In the 1999 general elections, the Reform Party won their first and only seat in the
Northern Mariana Island Senate with candidate
Ramon "Kumoi" Santos Deleon Guerrero. In the general elections held on 3 November 2001, the party won no seats and gubernatorial candidate
