Charla (Kahealani) Weaver

Nanakuli and Maili

House District 44

Charla Weaver is a proud lifelong resident of the Waianae Coast, a Native Hawaiian, a wife, mother and grandmother, and a Hawaiian Homestead lessee. She works as a navigator and facilitator for families in the child welfare system, where she has seen firsthand where the systems meant to protect families break down. She serves on the Nanakuli-Maili Neighborhood Board, sits on its Transportation, Housing and Zoning Committee, and has pressed for accountability at Nanakuli High and Intermediate School. She is running to bring leadership that reflects the values of the Waianae Coast: strong families, faith, hard work and neighbors who look out for each other.

Member, Nanakuli-Maili Neighborhood Board (Transportation, Housing and Zoning Committee)

THE ISSUES

Keeping Families Together
Charla has spent years inside the child welfare system and has seen what happens when help arrives too late. She wants stronger prevention programs, real addiction recovery resources, and services that support families before they reach crisis, so keiki stay safe and families stay whole.
Housing and the Cost of Living
Too many leeward coast families are being forced off the island by rising costs. As a Hawaiian Homestead lessee, Charla knows what it means to stay connected to land, culture and community, and she will push for housing opportunities and economic growth that let local families build their future here.
Schools That Support Students and Teachers

Through her work at Nanakuli High and Intermediate, Charla has seen the obstacles students and teachers face every day. She will advocate for better resources, stronger support for educators, and a real shot at success for every student in the district.
