Dale Cardwell

William Dale Cardwell (born 1962 in Greenville, Kentucky) is a consumer advocate and journalist based in Atlanta, Georgia. Cardwell has a long history of putting himself between consumers and reputedly unscrupulous individuals or companies. In 2001, Cardwell and his family were placed in the protective custody of police when Cardwell appeared on a "hit list," based on his investigative reporting of corruption in DeKalb County, Georgia.

Today, Cardwell writes a consumer advice column in the Marietta Daily Journal chain of newspapers, delivered to 403,000 homes. Dale is also the host of TrustDaleTV, a consumer advocacy television show, airing twice per week on WAGA, the Fox affiliate in the nation's eighth largest television market, and host of TrustDale Radio on Atlanta's WGST. Off air, Cardwell owns and operates TrustDale.com, a venue where consumers can inspect and review recommendations for products and services across numerous "categories." Cardwell was previously a long-time investigative reporter for Atlanta's WSB-TV. Before that, he worked for Nashville, Tennessee's WSMV, WRAL-TV in Raleigh/Durham, and also served stints at TV stations in Birmingham, Alabama and western Kentucky.

Cardwell attempted to mount a challenge to incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss in the 2008 election. He was eliminated in the July 15, 2008 General Primary. Taking no special interest financing (political action committee money), Cardwell still received nearly 25% of the vote in northern and central Georgia.
