Cagle shares Trump’s vision
Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle also is among Trump’s vocal supporters. The Republican candidate for governor said today that President Trump’s inaugural State of the Union address outlined an agenda that will strengthen America and that will dovetail with the reforms he’ll implement as governor.
“…Trump’s stated priorities mirror my own vision of conservative leadership for Georgia.”
“Our president has prioritized the most important issues, and he continues to deliver on the promises he made to the American people,” said Cagle. “From proposing greater education choices to working to fix a broken immigration system and deporting criminal illegals, from passing tax cuts to prioritizing a modern infrastructure, Trump’s stated priorities mirror my own vision of conservative leadership for Georgia. I am encouraged to finally have a president who sees beyond the Beltway and understands the needs of Georgians.”
