Dem Governor Moves To Oust Hand-Picked No. 2 Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on her running mate, Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell, to resign over an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment.

“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 Thursday. “The substantiated finding of sexual harassment is extremely troubling,” she added.

The report accused Caldwell of flirting with a staffer’s much younger female friend at an official event. When the staffer told him the friend was not interested, Caldwell allegedly complained, “You young women are looking for young sperm.”

He also allegedly tried to get a romantic partner a promotion, brought uninvited guests to ticketed events without proper reimbursement, and asked his own aides to find him a “first lady.”

Democratic New Jersey Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim joined Sherrill in calling for his resignation. (Read more from “Dem Governor Moves To Oust Hand-Picked No. 2 Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations” HERE)
