Villapudua was born in Stockton,California. He received a Bachelor of Arts in social services from the California State University,Sacramento in 1997. [1]

Villapudua first ran for California State Assembly in 2018,challenging incumbent Democrat Susan Eggman in the 13th Assembly District. He placed third in the primary election with 16.9% of the vote,behind Eggman and Republican Antonio Garcia respectively.
In 2020,Eggman retired to successfully run for California State Senate. Villapudua ran for Assembly again and won,defeating County Supervisor Kathy Miller with 53% of the vote.
In 2022,he was re-elected and defeated Tracy Mayor Veronica Vargas with 60.6% of the vote.
Villapudua introduced legislation that would allow certain prisoners to engage in job training and other activities in a community campus on prison grounds. [4] In The Georgetown Law Journal ,Shirin Bakhshay writes "While Villapudua's bill is commendable,his comments [on rehabilitating prisoners] reflect the type of thinking about criminal actors that continues to impede wide-spread reform efforts..." [5]
Villapudua's wife,Edith,was a candidate for California State Senate in the 5th district,the seat Eggman is vacating due to term-limits. The couple switched races on the day before California's candidate filing deadline,with Carlos running for Senate and Edith running for his Assembly seat. [6] The move was characterized as a ploy to better each of their electoral prospects;however it drove former U.S. Representative Jerry McNerney to join the Senate race and Edith's original opponent,Rhodesia Ransom,to also switch into the Assembly election. [7] [8]
Villapudua lives in Stockton with his wife,Edith. His brother,Brando,is a member of the Stockton City Council and his cousin,Miguel,is a member of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. [9] [10]
