Education
editCabell attended Bishop Hafey High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Saint Joseph's University in 2011.[2][3]
Career
editFrom 2009 to 2016, Cabell worked as the COO and CEO of Abbey Road Control, a flagging and traffic control company. From 2016 to 2021, he operated the Silver Pines Treatment Center in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. He later co-founded and served on the board of Civiq Health. Cabell was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in November 2022.[4][5] Cabell was defeated in 2024 by primary challenger Jamie Walsh.[6] The vote margin between the two ranged between three and five votes in Walsh's favor as the county election board tallied or rejected mail-in votes.[7][8] Although the results remained unofficial, Walsh held his lead into July after the board tallied un-opened provisional ballots. Both Cabell and Walsh launched court challenges to swing the results in their favor,[9] but it was Walsh who ultimately held a four-vote lead after all challenges were settled.[10][11] Cabell conceded the race on September 23, the day the election results were certified.[12]
