Gordon St. Angelo (June 20, 1927 - October 18, 2011) born in Huntingburg, Indiana, USA is former Democratic Party State Chairman of the state of Indiana[1] and was a prominent politician during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

St. Angelo has worked on two presidential campaigns including holding the position of National Co-Chairman of Humphrey for President Committee.[2] He was also manager of Roger Branigin's successful campaign for the governorship of Indiana in 1964.[3] From 1974 to 1996, he was Vice-President of Community Development for the Lilly Endowment,[4] and during this time was a vocal proponent for the development of free market economies in North and South America.

In 1996, St. Angelo helped create a foundation with Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman and his wife, Rose Friedman to promote and help establish educational choice in America. He served as President & CEO of the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation for School Choice[5] until 2009. He was succeeded by Robert Enlow.

Though he started his career in the Democratic party, he has been a supporter of many Republican candidates since the mid-seventies. One such example: St. Angelo has endorsed Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, a Republican, for both of his gubernatorial campaigns.

St. Angelo died on October 18, 2011 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
