The primary Councilperson for Puna District is Emily Naeole, but the upper part around Volcano and Mountain View is in the council district of Bob Jacobson which also includes Kau. I believe Mr. Jacobson may actually live in or near the area where so many complain about overflights, but I could be mistaken about that.
As for whether either of the aforementioned council members would support some regulatory legislation, I have no clue. I have spoken with Ms. Naeole on two occasions, and she seems willing to listen to her constituents. She does seem to be something of a loose cannon at times, though, having changed her approach to the SuperCenter ban so many times nobody is really sure where she actually stands any more. At any rate, it never hurts to communicate your needs and positions to those with the ability to act on them, so I would contact both council members.
Cheers,
Jerry
