Gov. Sherrill Calls on Lt. Gov. Caldwell to Resign After Releasing Investigation Findings
The report found repeated policy violations, sexual harassment and undisclosed conflicts, and Caldwell did not immediately respond to the resignation demand.
- On Thursday, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill called for Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell to resign, citing an independent investigation that substantiated "serious, repeated violations of state policy" and sexual harassment.
- The probe, conducted by former New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino, found that Caldwell misused his position to secure promotions for a state employee he was dating and brought personal guests to ticketed events without authorization.
- Evidence includes Caldwell making a romantic advance toward a staffer's friend and using state email on May 26, 2026—four days after being notified of the investigation—to suggest the state employee receive a promotion without disclosing their relationship.
- Caldwell denied the allegations, calling them "false and misleading," while his attorney Thomas Calcagni argued that "the evidence does not support these findings." Neither Caldwell nor his representatives immediately responded to Sherrill's resignation demand.
- Sherrill set a deadline of today, Friday, September 25, for Caldwell to step down. As of early Friday, the Lieutenant Governor had not publicly announced whether he would comply with the resignation demand.
