This week, we’re excited to have Matt Vilardebo on the podcast. Matt is a 51-year-old husband, father, and longtime community organizer from Fort Mill, South Carolina. He’s a reliability engineer by trade, but his passion for public service shines through as a candidate for South Carolina’s State House District 26. Matt’s run for office before and continues to fight for progressive values like education reform, better infrastructure, and accessible healthcare. Whether it’s working on a campaign or giving back to his community, Matt’s commitment doesn’t stop when the election cycle ends—it’s a year-round hustle.
