Politics
[edit]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]
