Puerto Ricans have no idea who will be new governor Friday

>As one of his last acts, Rosselló put forward veteran politician and lawyer Pedro Pierluisi to fill the vacant secretary of state post, next in line for the governorship under the U.S. territory’s constitution. >Pierluisi is a former representative to the U.S. Congress seen by most ordinary Puerto Ricans as a conciliatory, relatively uncontroversial figure, unlikely to be met by continued street demonstrations. Puerto Rico is not a state, why are we having Puerto Ricans serving in congress? If PR becomes the 51st state, then sure, I welcome their constituency, but otherwise they should not have dedicated US politicians.
