News Changes in the Governor’s Office
posted by on December 21 at 13:13 PM
Longtime Gregoire aide, Lyle Canceko, has left the governor’s office.
Canceko, an extremely loyal and dedicated staffer (a fan), was Gregoire’s community outreach director, doing the important groundwork with policy stakeholders.
Canceko has been replaced by Pearse Edwards, who used to be in Gov. Gary Locke’s communications department, and most recently comes from a stint at Microsoft. Pearse’s job, Communications and External Affairs Director, represents an office reconfiguration where political outreach and communications have been combined.
Canceko, a former theology student who lives in Seattle, is going to work for the liberal Church Council of Greater Seattle.
Full disclosure: Canceko is a casual acquaintance of mine and once lent me a totally weird and cool book about exorcisms.
I think his last name is spelled "Canceko"
Does the Church Council still exist? I thought they went broke.
You're thinking the Washington Association of Churches, Will/HA. The Church Council is alive and well and living in Fremont/QA. Check out this link to see what it's been up to (immigration, anti-homelessness, peace in Iraq, etc.)

The Church Council scored well here - Mr. Canceko is a political up-and-comer and well known and respected in Olympia. I'm sure he'll bring great things to his new employer, though I suspect we're bound to see him back in (a) political office someday. Good luck Lyle!
