Meet Chi Charlie Nguyen
Born in Vietnam, Charlie escaped by sea alone at age 14. After seven months in a refugee camp, he arrived in the United States in 1980 and built a life rooted in family, faith, and service.
Charlie earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering and worked as an aerospace engineer and senior engineering manager. He has also served as a small business owner and real estate broker.
A longtime Westminster resident, Charlie served on the City Council from 2018 to 2022 and was elected Mayor in 2022. He and his wife Jacqueline have three children.
From youth ministry to helping seniors and neighbors in need, community service has always been central to his life.
