Cagle Announces Endorsements in Northwest Georgia

Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle has scored 64 early endorsements from elected officials in Northwest Georgia in his campaign to be Georgia’s next governor. The current state legislators who endorsed Cagle include state Sen. Jeff Mullis (R-Chickamauga), state Sen. Chuck Hufstetler (R-Rome), state Rep. John Deffenbaugh (R-Lookout Mountain) and state Rep. Dewayne Hill (R-Ringgold). The full list of sheriffs, county commissioners, mayors, and city councilmen who endorsed Cagle is below the fold.

Cagle’s chief rival in the Republican primary, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, rolled out a similar list in early May, announcing endorsements from 50 officials from rural counties in eastern and southern Georgia. Kemp’s campaign is trying to depict him as a champion of rural Georgia. This announcement from Cagle pushes back against that narrative.

Cagle had this to say about the endorsements:

Each of these elected officials have served Northwest Georgia and our state faithfully, and I am honored to have the support and trust of such an esteemed group of community leaders. I look forward to continuing to work with each one of them to promote the health, safety and welfare of the communities they represent, and I want to personally thank them for their diligent efforts to build a better Georgia.
