Sydney Ugalde founded The Biscayne Group in July 2021 with a mission of making high-quality and experienced talent accessible and affordable to local candidates, campaigns, and small businesses. The name Biscayne comes from her grandfather’s construction company, Biscayne Construction, which he founded in 1968 after coming to the United States from Spain. Biscayne is a diminutive of the Bay of Biscay where he was born and raised.
Sydney has over 7 years of experience at all levels of the political process and hopes to bring innovation and excitement to local candidates and small businesses for a fair price. In the two years she served as the Chair of the Morris County Young Republicans, she raised over $3,000 for Republican candidates under 40 and revitalized the organization’s brand identity.
Sydney is passionate about giving our clients the time and dedication they deserve and believes that a one-size fits all approach just doesn’t work anymore. She lives in Randolph, New Jersey.
