Velma Harper ran for office in 2010. Please view the video link for validation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ0cwjpNgps

Velma Harper also sat as a member of the Guam Board of Allied Health Examiner's. Please view news article from 2010.

This was against Guam law. And though noted to the legal counsel of the Board by a Veterinarian who caught notice of Velma Harper's double occupation, the Board nor the AG's Office did nothing to disqualify Dr. Harper of either her candidacy or public office.

This is what I understand to be a rendition of what goes on during public meetings and the Guam Board of Allied Health Examiner's Legal Counsel, Robert Weinberg.
