The group selected the following individuals to manage Amata's campaign at the grassroots level:

District 1-Lealofiamoa Imo Ale Filoialii,District 2-Howard Molipe, District 3-Konelila Tagoilelagi, District 4-Toma Keresoma, District 5-Tuitafagagai Ah Kiong; Mataala Sala, District 6-Amata Aiava; Tasileta Ioane, District 7-Canton Fano, District 8-Sabrina Leaupepe, District 9-Paulava Malala; P.

"We are very, very pleased these kind people have come forward to help this year," said Salanoa. "They are the heart of our campaign."

The district chairs will be responsible for managing the work of campaign coordinators in the various villages in their districts and for recruiting poll workers for Election Day and will soon be undertaking an initial vote canvass across the Territory.

"Even though many of our district chairs have played this role in earlier campaigns," continued Salanoa, "it is really exciting that there are a number of people who have stepped forward who are new Amata supporters this year for the first time."

Volunteers who want to help Amata's campaign are asked to call Oloipola Herman Gebauer at 258-2962 or Aumua Amata at 258-8376.
