**Scott Nelson Cadle**[2] is an American politician and a former [Republican](/source/Republican_Party_(United_States)) member of the [West Virginia House of Delegates](/source/West_Virginia_House_of_Delegates) representing the 13th District from 2012 to 2016 and again from 2018 until 2020.

## Politics

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](/source/Roger_Hanshaw).[5]

In 2020, Cadle voted against the creation of an intermediate court of appeals.[6][7] Later that year, Cadle joined six fellow Delegates in a letter to Governor [Jim Justice](/source/Jim_Justice), expressing concern over the use of emergency gubernatorial powers during the [coronavirus pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic).[8]

## Personal

Cadle has worked as a truck driver for over 45 years.[9] Cadle attended [Glenville State College](/source/Glenville_State_College).

## Elections
