A surprise happened in American Samoa, the Democrat non-voting Delagate to Congress was defeated. I don’t know who the winning candidate is, though.

Good golly miss molly!

Republican Aumua Amata Radewage is the new delagate from American Samoa.

Apparently, the winner in American Samoa is the daughter of the late former Gov. Peter Tali Coleman, the only successful GOPer, Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen. She’s been a perennial candidate for Congress for 2 decades, this being her 11th time she’s run, which obviously must be a record to being finally successful.

This will make her the first female Pacific Islander/Polynesian Republican member of Congress (in fact, she may be the first Polynesian woman elected to Congress, period. I believe the women elected from Hawaii were all of Asian descent and the woman representing Guam is White).
