Her work often focuses on issues vital to American Samoa, such as federal funding for healthcare, education, and infrastructure, as well as advancing economic development to provide better opportunities for residents. Radewagen serves on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and is an advocate for U.S. veterans, particularly those of Samoan descent. Additionally, she has been vocal in pushing for better disaster preparedness and resilience, given American Samoa’s vulnerability to natural disasters. Radewagen’s bipartisan approach allows her to collaborate effectively on issues impacting her constituents and Pacific Islanders nationwide.
