In 1966, Cade was a Republican candidate for a then at-large seat on the Rapides Parish School Board. The entire GOP slate was defeated. Two years later, Cade ran unsuccessfully for the Rapides Parish Police Jury, the equivalent to county commission in other states. Cade said that he never expected to be elected to local office: "I realized that I could do my best work behind the scenes."

In the race for the 1976 Republican presidential nomination, Cade supported former California [[Governor]] [[Ronald W. Reagan]]. Although Treen had backed Reagan at the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, [[Florida]], in 1976, he favored [[Gerald Ford]], a [[Moderate Republican]] who became the party nominee. Ford had succeeded Nixon as president two years earlier.
