Phil BellCORRESPONDENT
And when she was running, she picked Dale Caldwell, who had served in – he was president of Centenary College.
Phil BellCORRESPONDENT
He had been in a variety of positions, U.S. Tennis Association, and so on.
Phil BellCORRESPONDENT
And I think he had served on a school board as well to be her running mate for lieutenant governor.

an attempt to hire someone he was dating.

Before being selected by Cheryl as a running mate in July 2025, Caldwell was the president of Centenary University in Warren County, where Cheryl confirmed today that her campaign was aware of other allegations of misconduct.
Mikie SherrillSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I had heard that someone from Centenary College had called and it was referred to a law office to investigate and it turns out it was an administrative matter at the college.
Darla MilesCORRESPONDENT
Caldwell's attorney has blasted the veracity of the investigation that was triggered by an anonymous letter.
Taronda ThomasCORRESPONDENT

Taronda ThomasCORRESPONDENT
That was Centenary University.
Taronda ThomasCORRESPONDENT
Now, here is why this is also really important.
Taronda ThomasCORRESPONDENT

Brent JohnsonPANELIST
One thing a lot of people have been talking about is that he was a relative unknown when she picked him.
Brent JohnsonPANELIST
He was a Methodist pastor, a former New Brunswick school board member, and the president of Centenary University.
Brent JohnsonPANELIST
But he wasn't a big name, and maybe that was playing into her wanting to buck the status quo in New Jersey.
Brent JohnsonPANELIST
There was also a thought that she wanted to make some inroads with the black community, that there was a thought that especially after running against Raz Baraka in the primary, that she wanted to make inroads there and that he would help that.
Howie CarrHOST
[laughs] He's a 66-year-old United Methodist pastor.

Oh, he's a, he's a pastor, and he served as president of Centenary University before Sherrill tapped him for lieutenant governor.
Howie CarrHOST

Howie CarrHOST
[laughs] His name was Caldwell, not Kennedy or Carter, or excuse me, Clinton.
Colleen O'DayCORRESPONDENT
Dianne Saxe- dates back at least to may there are other reports that would indicate that perhaps they knew about at least some complaints from folks perhaps getting back to centenary.
Colleen O'DayCORRESPONDENT
which is where or Centenary University where Lieutenant Governor Caldwell was the president.
Colleen O'DayCORRESPONDENT
And those would date back to September.
Colleen O'DayCORRESPONDENT
But again, these are all anonymously sourced reports and we don't have a full timeline or full confirmation of a lot of this.
Rick RickmanCORRESPONDENT
That's according to the New Jersey Globe, which first published the accusations against Caldwell of inappropriate behavior with women and a state job offer.
Rick RickmanCORRESPONDENT
The Globe now reports the allegations were made last year by an employee at Centenary University, where Caldwell was university president.
