For the past decade Mayor McKee has worked in Cumberland and with a statewide coalition of municipal leaders to develop, advocate for and implement good public policy.  The pillars of his approach to public policy are: 

• Fair and equitable distribution of state revenue to Rhode Island’s cities and towns
• Bold and innovative approaches to improving Rhode Island public education. Start creating tomorrow’s highly skilled workforce now
• Smart, efficient management of state and municipal resources, including through consolidation and regionalization of services
• Improve Rhode Island tax and regulatory structures to attract investment by businesses and entrepreneurs
• Celebrate, support and leverage the rich diversity of Rhode Island’s people
