Caldwell Under Fire in NJ | Philadelphia News

New Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell is under fire as whispers swirl about alleged misconduct and ethics breaches, prompting an internal probe led by former AG Christopher Porrino. While Governor Mikie Sherrill’s administration stays silent on specifics, they’ve emphasized zero tolerance for misconduct. Caldwell, also New Jersey’s Secretary of State, hasn’t responded, but GOP Senate leader Anthony Bucco is demanding he step aside. The investigation reportedly began even while Caldwell temporarily acted governor last week. Allegations remain vague — one hinting at an alleged job offer — and details are scarce. Caldwell, a former university leader and pastor, was picked as Sherrill’s running mate in July 2025, adding political weight to this unfolding drama amid broader federal scrutiny of voter data ahead of elections.
