My name is Matthew Kutilek as a graduate of The Citadel and a Retired Combat Wounded US Marine, Lieutenant Colonel, I have devoted my entire adult life to leading, defending and serving this great nation. Now I desire to take my proven and tested leadership ability, global experiences, passion and strong Conservative values to the State House in Columbia where I can serve and represent We the People who live in SC State House District 4. Pickens County - where I was married, where we raise our four daughters, where they go to school, where I worship at Church, where my wife serves as a school teacher and where I work as a Project Manager in Manufacturing.
As a strong conservative Christian and as a lifelong student of history and admirer of George Washington and our Founding Fathers, I stand by our God Ordained Founding documents which are grounded upon the inalienable rights – of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - for all people – including the unborn. I support the second amendment, small businesses, limited government, term limits for all levels of government, traditional family values, masculinity, femininity, and the peaceful and patriotic rural American way of life that we enjoy here in the 4th District.- I am a strong conservative Christian, Combat Wounded US Marine LtCol (Ret.) and a Project Manager in Manufacturing with 25+ years of proven leadership
- My priorities, beliefs, and stances on many issues can be found on my clear, informative and transparent website: votematthewkutilek.com. My top priority is to represent, serve and lead the people of the 4th District. I will do everything possible to fix our roads and infrastructure, protect our schools from far-left Marxist intrusion, build our economy thru existing small business and targeted manufacturing growth and protect the scenic Hwy 11 corridor. I will advocate for an elimination of the state income tax, significant reduction of the corporate income tax, and will staunchly oppose any crazy ideas by career politicians to increase taxes.
- Far too long our complacent and passive career politicians have simply filled the seat, voted the status quo and failed to lead, failed to take charge, failed to stop the anti-American Marxist intrusion into our district, failed to take care of current problems and failed to prepare for the future. We cannot keep electing the same people over and over and over again simply out of convenience and expect a different outcome.
Facilitating well planned, measured and sustainable business growth and economic reform. Reduction of the corporate income tax and complete removal of the individual income tax. Unleash the free market starting with existing business then targeted well suited midsize businesses.
