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.
