Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell (D-NJ) handed in his resignation letter on Friday, after Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) called for him to step down following an investigation into his alleged inappropriate sexual misconduct.

Caldwell, Sherrill’s running mate in the 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election, resigned after an ethics report alleging he “engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office” was made public.
