Dale Caldwell

Dale Caldwell, the Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, has resigned from his position following an ethics investigation. The investigation, conducted by a law firm hired by the governor's office, concluded that Caldwell violated the state's ethics and discrimination rules. Specifically, the report found that he had made an advance toward a staffer's friend, which contravened the state's policy prohibiting workplace discrimination. Governor Phil Murphy publicly called for Caldwell's resignation after the report's findings were published. Caldwell's resignation comes after these serious allegations and the subsequent official determination of his violation of state ethics and anti-discrimination policies, making him a significant figure in recent New Jersey political news due to these developments.
