New Jersey’s two senators in Washington echoed Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s call for Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell to resign just hours after she released a report that said he sexually harassed a woman and made advances to others even after he was warned to stop.

Sen. Andy Kim, a Burlington County Democrat, said in a statement on social media that the lieutenant’s governor was “unacceptable” based on the findings in the 61-page report based on a months-long investigation by an outside law firm.

“New Jerseyans deserve to have public servants who work to earn and keep their trust, not undermine it,” Kim said.

“The Lt. Governor should resign immediately,” he added.

Sherrill’s office released the documents Thursday evening in her first acknowledgement of the investigation into Caldwell, who has denied the findings of the report.

Sherrill said Caldwell “engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office.”

The governor called on Caldwell to step down from his post as her No. 2 by Friday, but statements from his attorneys show no indication he plans to adhere to that request. He’ll likely face increasing pressure over the course of the day.

Sen. Cory Booker, a Newark Democrat, said Caldwell should resign “for the sake of our state” in a statement on social media.

“Governor Sherrill is absolutely right the conduct described in the investigative report is totally unacceptable,” he said.
