Political party strength in American Samoa
The following table indicates the party of elected officials
in the United States insular area of American Samoa:
• Governor
• Lieutenant Governor
The table also indicates the historical party composition
in the:
• Territorial Senate
• Territorial House of Representatives
• Territory delegation to the U.S. House of
Representatives
The parties are as follows: Democratic (D), Nonpar-
tisan (NP), and Republican (R).
For a particular year, the noted partisan composition
is that which either took office during that year or which
maintained the office throughout the entire year. Only
changes made outside of regularly scheduled elections
are noted as affecting the partisan composition during a
particular year. Shading is determined by the final result
of any mid-cycle changes in partisan affiliation.
