New Jersey Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell under investigation for alleged misconduct
An outside law firm is reviewing allegations of inappropriate behavior and possible ethics violations, with the probe covering Caldwell’s conduct since taking office.
- New Jersey has hired law firm Lowenstein Sandler to investigate allegations of inappropriate behavior toward women by Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell, with former state Attorney General Christopher Porrino leading the probe.
- Governor Mikie Sherrill's administration requested the inquiry several weeks ago, stating the office 'takes any reports of inappropriate behavior or misconduct extremely seriously.'
- Investigators are reviewing Caldwell's behavior since he took office in January 2026, though the probe may extend to conduct prior to his inauguration and includes potential ethics violations regarding state job offers.
- Caldwell, who also serves as secretary of state, has retained counsel and has not responded to requests for comment while the investigation remains in the discovery phase.
- Elected alongside Sherrill last year, Caldwell now faces a legal review that raises questions about the allegations and his future political duties in the role of secretary of state.
