summary: American Samoa is an unincorporated U.S. territory in the South Pacific consisting of five volcanic islands and two atolls. It is represented in Congress by a single non-voting delegate elected at-large. The population was 49,710 at the 2020 census. Residents are U.S. nationals, not U.S. citizens by birthright. The economy is dominated by tuna canning — StarKist Samoa employs over 2,400 workers and accounts for more than 70% of private-sector employment. Federal government employment and grants play an outsized role, with the territorial government and LBJ Tropical Medical Center as major employers. The median household income is approximately $28,352, and roughly half of families live below the poverty line. The territory faces chronic challenges in healthcare access, outmigration, and vulnerability of its tuna-based economy to federal regulatory and trade policy changes.","confidence":"secondary","dateOccurred":null,"source":null}],"connections":[{"id":19332,"relationshipType":"committee_assignment","description":"Radewagen served on this committee based on her legislative work on marine monument issues","confidence":"inferential","firstDocumented":"2023","lastDocumented":null,"other":{"id":2267,"name":"House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure","slug":"house-committee-on-transportation-and-infrastructure","type":"government_agency"}},{"id":74484,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen's principal committee in the 2024 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00639229/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2024","lastDocumented":"2024","other":{"id":53824,"name":"American Revival PAC","slug":"fec-c00639229","type":"organization"}},{"id":74483,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen's principal committee in the 2024 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00592089/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2024","lastDocumented":"2024","other":{"id":53011,"name":"Electing Majority Making Effective Republicans (Emmer PAC)","slug":"fec-c00592089","type":"organization"}},{"id":74482,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen's principal committee in the 2024 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00570226/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2024","lastDocumented":"2024","other":{"id":56521,"name":"Seal PAC Supporting Electing American Leaders PAC","slug":"fec-c00570226","type":"organization"}},{"id":74481,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00467431/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":53002,"name":"Eye Of The Tiger PAC","slug":"fec-c00467431","type":"organization"}},{"id":74480,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen's principal committee in the 2024 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00431858/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2024","lastDocumented":"2024","other":{"id":61986,"name":"Steptoe And Johnson PAC","slug":"fec-c00431858","type":"organization"}}],"contradictions":[],"permalink":"https://www.goblinhouse.net/entity/congress-r000600","timelineUrl":"https://www.goblinhouse.net/entity/congress-r000600/timeline"}
