Politics

Cadle made national news in 2016 for sharing and drinking unpasteurized milk, after voting for a law that legalized it in West Virginia.[3] Cadle claimed that any illness from consuming the milk was a coincidence.[3] He was later reprimanded by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources in connection with the incident.[4]

In 2018, Cadle was named as an assistant majority whip by Speaker Roger Hanshaw.[5]

In 2020, Cadle voted against the creation of an intermediate court of appeals.[6][7] Later that year, Cadle joined six fellow Delegates in a letter to Governor Jim Justice, expressing concern over the use of emergency gubernatorial powers during the coronavirus pandemic.[8]

Personal

Cadle has worked as a truck driver for over 45 years.[9] Cadle attended Glenville State College.

  • 2012: To challenge incumbent District 13 Democratic Representatives Brady Paxton and appointed Representative Helen Martin, Cadle ran in the four-way May 8, 2012 Republican Primary and placed first with 1,526 votes (32.3%),[12] and placed second in the four-way two-position November 6, 2012 General election with 6,149 votes (25.7%) behind Representative Paxton and ahead of fellow Republican nominee Brian Scott and Democratic Representative Martin.[13]
