Английская Википедия:2020 United States House of Representatives election in American Samoa
Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election An election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, to elect the non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives from American Samoa's at-large congressional district.[1][2] The election coincided with races for other federal and American Samoan territorial offices, including the larger American Samoa general election, as well as the nationwide 2020 United States House of Representatives elections and the 2020 United States general elections.
Incumbent delegate, Rep. Amata Coleman Radewagen, a Republican who had held the seat since 2015, was overwhelmingly re-elected to the United States House of Representatives for a fourth term.[3]
Background
In November 2014, Amata Coleman Radewagen defeated 10-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Eni Faleomavaega in a crowded race for the seat.[4] She won re-election to a third term in 2018.
Candidates
The deadline for candidates to file with the Election Office was September 1, 2020.[1][2] Three candidates filed to run for election to American Samoa's lone seat in the United States House of Representatives by the official deadline, as determined by Chief Election Officer, Dr. Lealofi Uiagalelei.[1][2] A fourth candidate, Lealofi Seau, a retired member of the United States military, announced his candidacy in July 2020, but did not qualify for the ballot by the deadline.[1][5]

- Suitonu-Chapman launched her campaign in July 2020, marking her fourth campaign for Delegate to the U.S. House.
