Sherrill calls for resignation of her lieutenant governor after allegations

Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) called for her 2025 running mate, Democratic Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, to resign from her administration after the results of an investigation into his alleged inappropriate sexual misconduct were released Thursday.

“The investigation found that the Lieutenant Governor engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office,” Sherrill said in a statement released Thursday. “I’m calling for his resignation and giving him until tomorrow to do so.”
