New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill demands Lt Governor Dale Caldwell resign after sexual harassment, ethics findings
Gov. Mikie Sherrill has called for Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell’s resignation after an investigation revealed sexual harassment and ethics violations.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has demanded that Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell step down following an investigation uncovering sexual harassment allegations and ethical violations. The investigation, conducted by law firm Lowenstein Sandler, found Caldwell responsible for violating state workplace and ethics rules. Caldwell is accused of making a sexual advance towards a female staffer's friend at an official event, and later making a sexually suggestive remark after being rejected.
Furthermore, Caldwell is alleged to have brought personal guests to ticketed events without proper ethics clearance and repeatedly sought a promotion for a state employee with whom he had a romantic relationship. Caldwell has denied all allegations and argues that he was not given a fair opportunity to respond. Despite these claims, Sherrill insists that Caldwell's resignation is necessary and in the best interests of New Jersey residents.
