Rooted in Waipahu for Over 35 Years: Trusted Leadership for District 36  

Aloha and Mabuhay!

As your neighbor in Waipahu for over 35 years, I see the daily struggles our working families face because I live them right alongside you. Waipahu is our home. Our hardworking families deserve a strong, dedicated voice at the State Capitol who will ease your financial burdens and protect our local way of life.

As a father of four, I share your family’s values, your daily pressures, and your deep love for our community. I truly believe that public service means protecting the people who make this place special. In Waipahu, we are all one ʻohana—and I promise to fight for your family at the State Capitol just like my own.

I am ready to lead the effort to keep our neighborhood safe, affordable, and thriving for everyone. I humbly ask for your vote, your trust, and the opportunity to serve you.

Let’s build a brighter future for Waipahu, together. God bless our 94-block, and God bless our beautiful home of Waipahu!

With gratitude,
Eric Caceres Barsatan
State House District 36

We must ease the heavy financial burdens stretching household budgets.

We need to fast-track housing for locals and deploy real social services to our streets.

We will cut red tape to help our mom-and-pop shops expand and hire locally.

Our keiki deserve modern classrooms and we need to fully support our hard working teachers.

Every neighbor should feel completely safe in their own backyard.

We need to repair our aging streets and optimize our neighborhood traffic flow.
