Their elections are nonpartisan and usually are determined by which family you represent. I'd guess Faleomavaega would still be the delegate if Agent Orange complications hadn't compromised his ability to represent them and then killed him.

It's true that party affiliations are not listed on the ballot for Congressional delegate, but Rudewagen is well known as a Republican and has served for a long time on the Republican National Committee.
Coleman Radewagen's essentially reached aunty status for the whole territory. Not saying they would or wouldn't elect Republicans, just that I doubt political affiliation would be the determinative factor in who they'd elect. Regardless, they're far and away the least likely territory to seek or gain statehood, as they live by very different and constitutionally questionable norms; thus why they're the one without a federal territorial court.
