Biography:

Congressman Sablan is the first and only person to have represented the people of the Northern Mariana Islands in the U.S. House of Representatives. He began service on January 6, 2009.

During his terms in office, Congressman Sablan has been responsible for legislation increasing funding to Northern Mariana Islands schools and individual students, to the Commonwealth Healthcare Center, and for water and sewer projects in his district. He expanded federal food and energy assistance for low-income families in his district. And his legislative work resulted in the return of ownership of submerged lands around the Northern Marianas to the people he represents. Congressman Sablan also took an active hand in easing the transition from local to federal management of immigration in the Marianas through assistance to individuals, working closely with the U.S. departments of Homeland Security and Labor on implementing policy, and by enacting into law extensions of a number of transitional policies.

Kilili was born on the island of Saipan on January 19, 1955. He is one of seven children from a large extended family with Chamorro and Hispanic roots.

At the age of 11 Kilili moved to the island of Chuuk to attend the Jesuit Xavier High School, then the only high school in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Being the sole Chamorro student, Kilili learned how to adapt to new environments and institutions and to find common ground with people from different cultures and backgrounds—skills which have served him well as a Member of Congress.

Kilili graduated from Marianas High School on Saipan, then attended the University of Guam before continuing college in Berkeley, California. A family crisis brought him home before his studies were complete, but it was during his college days that Kilili decided to go into public office.

He began service in the administration of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ first Governor, Carlos S. Camacho, and then was elected to the 3rd Northern Mariana Islands Legislature in 1981. Kilili was appointed to be a special representative to negotiations with the federal government on continuance of the financial assistance to the islands that had begun with Section 702 of the Covenant of Political Union between the Northern Mariana Islands and the United States. Kilili and his colleagues won a seven-year, full faith and credit commitment from the U.S. for $228 million. This allowed the Commonwealth to secure immediate, “front-end” funding for much-needed capital improvement projects.

After two terms in the Legislature, Kilili was selected to be a Special Assistant in Washington, DC to United States Senator Daniel K. Inouye of Hawai’i, then served in the administrations of Commonwealth Governors Froilan C. Tenorio and Pedro P. Tenorio, before being appointed as Executive Director of the Commonwealth Election Commission.

Kilili served in the Army Reserves from 1981 to 1986.

He is married to Andrea Sablan. See more >>

Former staffer and MCI lobbyist back on Hill

Posted by LegiStorm on June 10, 2016

Former staffer-turned-lobbyist Seth Maiman is on Capitol Hill representing the interests of Pacific islands roughly midway between Australia and Japan.

But he's not a foreign agent for an obscure island nation. He's the new legislative director for Gregario Kilili Camacho Sablan, the congressman for the Northern Mariana Islands.

From 1989 to 1993, Maiman was chief of staff to Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.). He then worked for telecom giant MCI for more than a decade, after which he joined the Close Up Foundation in 2007 as director of government relations. The foundation brings thousands of students and teachers to Washington to dialogue with lawmakers, media and fellow students.

In 2013 he started his own company and until he joined Sablan's office, was principal of Maiman Political Consulting. His political consulting projects included managing a state legislative campaign and leading a political analysis project for an environmental organization.

Maiman graduated from University at Albany, State University of New York and American University Washington College of Law.

Lawmakers brag about millions sent home for special projects

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Sept. 29, 2014
Though earmarks may be out of fashion for today's lawmakers, they still find ways to brag that federal dollars are being steered to their constituents - to the tune of $722 million in the last week alone.In the midst of a bitter election year with majority control of the Senate in play, Democrats far outstripped Republicans in bragging about new federal contracts and grants being awarded to their districts. Democrats announced $692.1 million in new funding last week alone, compared to $22.5 million announced by Republicans. read more
