Vui Florence Saulo
Vui Florence Tuaumu Saulo is a businesswoman and politician from American Samoa.[1]
Saulo founded her own finance and insurance company and in November 2012 she was elected to the House of Representatives of American Samoa, to represent Tualauta County.[1] She was the only woman in the House, although in 2014 a second woman, Atalina Asifoa, was elected and for two years there were two women in the legislature.[2]
After Saulo's election in 2012 her eligibility to stand was challenged on the grounds that she had allegedly not been required to provide a birth certificate in order to register as a candidate in the election.[3]
