Thursday, June 28th, 2018

Newsmax Magazine released "Newsmax's 10 best Lieutenant Governors in America" and awarded Casey Cagle the top spot. Cagle ranks No. 1, with Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) and Rebecca Kleefisch (R-Wis.) at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

"It's an honor to be recognized for the tireless work we've put in to making Georgia a better place for our families," Cagle said. "Whether it is leading to improve education and workforce development, cut taxes for hard-working Georgians, keep Georgia the No. 1 state for business, or protect our conservative values, we've been able to work alongside Governor Deal and Speaker Ralston to realize amazing achievements for our state. I love Georgia and I’m proud of our achievements, but we’re just getting started."

Cagle’s campaign continues to gain momentum after a commanding victory in the GOP primary in which Cagle won 123 out of 159 counties. He has been endorsed by over 100 sheriffs, the National Rifle Association, the Police Benevolent Association, Educators First, the Georgia Independent Christian Athletic Association, the Marietta Daily Journal, the Cherokee Tribune & Ledger, the Rome News Tribune, and earned the support of the Georgia Realtors.

Cagle has pledged to continue cutting taxes, deliver a comprehensive 10-year infrastructure plan, and create 500,000 new jobs in the first four years of his administration. He has also made workforce development a top priority and will continue to lead on developing a world-class education system in Georgia.
