U.S. Rep. Jenniffer González-Colón is leading in Puerto Rico’s gubernatorial race.

With nearly 40% of the vote in a five -way race, she is the first Republican elected governor in the territory since 2008 .

She is expected to defeat a spirited challenge from Juan Dalmau , the first candidate from Puerto Rico's long-marginalized Independence Party .

It took 11 months to restore power to some parts of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria , marking the second -longest blackout in world history.

The fiscal control board instituted brutal austerity cuts, closing hundreds of schools and slashing pensions.

Seven years later , the average Puerto Rican still suffers weekly if not daily blackouts.
