Fofō Iosefa Fiti Sunia (born March 13, 1937) was the first non-voting Delegate from American Samoa to the United States House of Representatives.
[2] Sunia was the administrative officer for the Samoan affairs-liaison functions for the Governor of American Samoa, and served as a translator and interpreter and an election commissioner from 1961 to 1966.
He served from January 3, 1981 until his resignation on September 6, 1988, after he was indicted on federal charges of running a payroll padding scheme.
[3][4][5][6] As a Delegate to the U.S. Congress, Sunia opposed a Constitutional amendment which would have made English the official language of the United States.
[8] His knowledge and experience outweighed his conviction and he was hired to work as a staff member for the American Samoa Fono.
