Kelly Candaele



I have been providing consulting services to various clients and organizations for over fifteen years.  The primary focus of my work has been in the areas of politics, communications, writing and labor relations.  I have run political campaigns and initiatives and developed communications and outreach strategies for organizations, companies and public entities.  While most of my work has been within California, I have also worked with organizations in Great Britain and Ireland.
