Campaign for Lieutenant Governor

In early 2005, Cagle declared his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. He was opposed in the Republican primary by nationally known Christian conservative activist Ralph Reed. Initially considered the underdog, Cagle emerged as a serious challenger to Reed. Reed accused Cagle of negative campaigning, blaming Cagle for unfavorable media attention arising from the federal investigation into the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal.[citation needed] On July 18, 2006, Cagle defeated Reed in the Republican Party primary. Cagle won 56% of the vote Reed's 44%, according to final results. He then went on to successfully face former state legislator Jim Martin, in the general election. Cagle's tenure in the role of Lieutenant Governor has been tainted slightly by the inability of the Georgia legislature to reach agreement on a meaningful solution to the state's transportation problems. Many believe that rivalry between Cagle and House Speaker Glenn Richardson may have contributed to the legislative stalemate.
