NJ Gov. Sherrill demands hand-picked Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell’s resignation after sex harassment probe
NY Post ^ | 9/25/26 | Daniel Cody, Ella Morrison

Posted on 09/25/2026 2:20:00 AM PDT by Libloather

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell — her handpicked second-in-command — to resign Thursday night after a bombshell sexual harassment investigation revealed he tried to get his girlfriend promoted, made a revolting sexual comment to a staffer, and ignored repeated warnings over his inappropriate behavior.

The explosive 61-page report released Thursday paints a picture of a politician run amok, detailing how Caldwell, 66, used his taxpayer-funded position to score expensive event tickets for his romantic conquests, pull strings to try to get his secret girlfriend a cushy state promotion, and task his own aides with finding him a “first lady.”

“I’m calling for his resignation and giving him until tomorrow to do so,” Sherrill declared in a statement on Thursday evening.

“I hold everyone in my Administration to the highest ethical standard. We all have a duty to follow our state ethics and harassment policy and our Code of Conduct. Anyone who violates these will be held accountable.”

The Democratic governor’s office launched the independent investigation into one of its own in May after receiving an anonymous letter accusing Caldwell, the former president of Centenary University, of inappropriate behavior towards women.

The probe led by former New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino and authored by law firm Lowenstein Sandler concluded that the lieutenant governor’s behavior “constituted sexual harassment and was derogatory or demeaning.”

One of the most disturbing accusations in the report occurred in April 2026 when Caldwell hit on a staffer’s much younger friend at an official event, then lashed out in the back of his state vehicle after being rejected, explicitly telling a female aide that “you young women are looking for young sperm,” the report alleged.

For those that don’t know, some folks are experts finding AI on the world-wide-webs. This clown ain’t one of ‘em. Sits around all day screaming for mom’s meatloaf but never gets any. Eh, it’s a hobby instead of staring at the basement walls.

Tell your developer you badly need a modern upgrade. You've been recycling the same phrases and insults since 2022.

As a NJ resident, this is pretty tame stuff for Democrats. Finding jobs for relatives, girlfriends, inappropriate relationships etc. is small potatoes here, nobody bats an eye at that. It’s how things work. The real question is, why do the Democrats want him gone, and who do they want to replace him with? This also could be some good interparty fighting. Caldwell lawyered up with Peter Harvey, who was the first black AG in NJ. This will turn racial very quickly.

In his defense, New Jersey is a Democrat stronghold.

Since when do Democrats care about such things.... Since the Clinton ERA their mantra has always been “It’s just about SEX...move along!:”

I agree, but many of them abuse their offices and are never called on it, or even worse, protected from consequences. It sounds like he must have lost his ‘standing’ with this idiot Governor and was booted out for that, or maybe Mikey had someone else in mind.

maybe Mikey is mad that he it on her --- or mad that he didn't.
