Casey Cagle Biography

Casey Cagle is one of the most popular and richest Banker who was born on January 12, 1966 in Gainesville, United States. Lowell Stacy “Casey”, born January 12, 1966, is an American politician. He was the 11th Lieutenant Governor for Georgia from 2007 to 2019. He is a Republican Party member.

Cagle announced his candidacy to be Lieutenant Governor of Georgia in early 2005. Ralph Reed, a nationally recognized Christian conservative activist, opposed him in the Republican primary. Cagle was initially considered to be the underdog. However, he emerged as a serious challenger for Reed. Reed accused Cagle, accusing him of negative campaigning. Cagle was also blamed for the unfavorable media attention that resulted from the federal investigation into Jack Abramoff’s Indian lobbying scandal. Cagle won the Republican Party primary election with 56% to Reed’s 44%. Then, he faced Jim Martin, an ex- state representative and won with 54.1% against Martin’s 42.3%.

An investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that Cagle had spent approximately $265,000 of taxpayer funds on air travel from January 2010 to June 2018. Some of the taxpayer-funded flights were to cities where he raised money for his gubernatorial campaign. When using air travel for state business, Cagle on more than 100 occasions added extra legs to trips by picking him up or dropping him off in Gainesville, where he lives. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted that Cagle had previously sought to portray himself as a fiscal conservative.

A 50-second excerpt from the Tippins recording was released by Brian Kemp’s campaign in the weeks leading up to the gubernatorial runoff where Cagle discloses his thoughts about the Republican Primary. After discussing policy issues with Tippins, his former political opponent, Cagle states that “the problem is in a primary — and you and I are just talking off-the-record frank — they don’t give a shit about those things. OK. In the general election, they care about it. OK. But they don’t care about it in a primary. This primary felt like it was who had the biggest gun, who had the biggest truck, and who could be the craziest.” His political adversaries were quick to label Cagle a corrupt, calculating politician following the leak of the conversation, and accused him of patronizing his Republican constituents. In an official statement to the press, however, his campaign maintained that the comments were specifically directed at Kemp, who had released two contentious ads during the primary. Cagle later stated that the recording was never meant to be made public.

From 1996 to 2007, he was a member the Georgia General Assembly. In 2007, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. He is the first Republican to be elected to this office. In the 2018 Governor’s election, he was a candidate for the Republican primary.

On February 26, 2018, while Lieutenant Governor, Cagle threatened to block legislation that benefited Delta Air Lines after the company ended their discount for National Rifle Association members in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which led to the death of seventeen students in Parkland, Florida. Cagle tweeted, “I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.” Shortly afterwards, Cagle and the Georgia General Assembly revoked a jet fuel tax break from the 2018 Tax Reform Bill that would have benefitted Delta and other airliners. Constitutional law professors Michael J. Gerhardt of the University of North Carolina, Kathleen Burch of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, and Gregory P. Magarian of Washington University in St. Louis all argued that Cagle’s response to Delta Air Lines’ decision violated the company’s right to free speech under the First Amendment. After Cagle’s stance, the NRA publicly endorsed his campaign for governor.
