In a statement @DaleCaldwell says that his resignation "should not be interpreted as an admission of wrongdoing or acceptance of the report’s findings."

Sherrill's big consistency problem with Caldwell is that she was undoubtably aware of at least some of the allegations against him and still traveled out-of-state, leaving him as acting governor for 18 days. Now she says he must resign, and she's not traveling.

One notable thing so far about Caldwell reaction: Both NJ U.S. Senators have called on him to resign, but no comments yet from Assembly speaker and Senate prez. The latter actually could have a role to play in what happens to Caldwell.

The dam on Dale Caldwell is breaking pretty quickly. (One of the perils of being a political unknown whose main claim to fame is being the lieutenant gov of a governor who now wants you gone.) Cory Booker says he should resign…
Governor Sherrill is absolutely right the conduct described in the investigative report is totally unacceptable. For the sake of our state Lt Governor Caldwell should resign.

As Assembly Dem calls on @DaleCaldwell to resign.
The office of Lieutenant Governor carries an extraordinary responsibility and requires the full confidence of the people of New Jersey. Lt. Gov Dale Caldwell should resign to allow the administration to move forward without further distraction or questions surrounding the office.

🌹The DSA hasn’t been as prominent in NJ as in some other states, but the left-wing group has quietly made some major inroads. I spoke with the state’s small cadre of dem. socialist electeds, including Assemblymembers Katie Brennan & Chigozie Onyema, about their vision for NJ.

We need to talk about Daniel's Law which, with the help of the public records restrictions NJ Dems passed a couple years ago, is starting to seriously hamper transparency in NJ.

This sucks for reporters. I've often used ELEC reports to reach candidates directly, especially low-profile ones who don't have staff.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. says he has no involvement in any stock transactions, a policy he’s had since arriving in Congress. That hasn’t muted Dem criticism of the trades made in his name, especially the ones made during his absence from Congress. New from me: politico.com/news/2026/08/05…

A judge tossed the Cherry Hill school district’s lawsuit targeting a guy accused of filing too many records requests. Judge says district failed to show "defendants filed their requests with the intent to disrupt agency operations." I wrote about it here newjerseymonitor.com/2026/03…

Some history here: @GovChristie got national headlines when it was revealed his gov portrait was $85K in 2018 (which would be worth approximately $113,000 in 2026 when adjusting for inflation).

A spox for Gov. Mikie Sherrill (@smhigg) responds to this letter noting that Van Drew has worked with South Jersey political operative Craig Callaway, who has been guilty of voter fraud + more:
🚨Today, I led 18 of my House Republican colleagues in demanding answers from Governor Sherrill. New Jersey admitted that 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote and nearly 400 cast ballots. Our elections are only as strong as the integrity of our voter rolls.

The company at the center of New Jersey’s voter registration debacle is pushing back against Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s claims that noncitizens were registered to vote because of a “serious software error,” asserting that state agencies were to blame instead. (w @joeymdfox)
