List Of Delegates To The United States House Of Representatives From American Samoa
American Samoa's at-large congressional district encompasses the entire U.S. territorial region of American Samoa. The territory does not have a voting member of Congress but does elect a delegate who can participate in debates and vote in committees of which they are a member. Amata Coleman Radewagen is the current delegate of the islands. From 1970 to 1978, American Samoa elected an unofficial delegate-at-large in four-year terms to lobby for formal admission to the House of Representatives; they were A. U. Fuimaono from 1971 to 1975, A. P. Lutali from 1975 to 1979 (simultaneously serving in the American Samoa Senate from 1977), and Fofō Iosefa Fiti Sunia, Fofō Sunia from 1979 to 1981 (when the delegate was formally recognized by Congress).

Republican Party (United States)
The Republican Party, also referred to as the GOP ("Grand Old Party"), is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States. The GOP was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists who opposed the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which allowed for the potential expansion of chattel slavery into the western territories. Since Ronald Reagan's presidency in the 1980s, conservatism has been the dominant ideology of the GOP. It has been the main political rival of the Democratic Party since the mid-1850s. The Republican Party's intellectual predecessor is considered to be Northern members of the Whig Party, with Republican presidents Abraham Lincoln, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A.
