Will R.I. Governor McKee and Lieutenant Governor Matos run as a team in 2026?
But as they prepare to seek reelection next year, the joint press conferences and press releases are a thing of the past, and the two won't say if they plan to run as a team next year. McKee's campaign manager, said the governor looks forward to working with Matos. In a text message, Matos said, 'I also wish him the best.'

Enter Email Sign Up The bigger picture: It's hard to argue that McKee and Matos didn't benefit from their partnership in 2022, but the dynamics have changed quite a bit. Advertisement McKee allies have long grumbled that Matos wasn't sufficiently loyal to the governor, first at the end of the 2022 Democratic primary, and then when Matos hasn't been a visible part of the administration over the last two years, although she hasn't publicly complained about her role, either. The governor and the lieutenant governor are both gearing up for difficult Democratic primary challenges next year, and McKee doesn't necessarily want to have to answer questions about the Advertisement An unanswered question: Will McKee and Matos endorse each other next year? It's no secret that some of McKee's friends in the tight-knit mayoral community are considered potential candidates for lieutenant governor – Pawtucket Mayor Don Grebien and East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva come to mind – so it's possible that McKee will say he'll support whoever wins the primary. It's unlikely that Matos will back one of McKee's opponents next year, but she could opt to focus on her own race.

Adam Greenman is running for Pawtucket mayor
Advertisement 'So much has changed about Pawtucket in the last 14 years, but the leadership hasn't,' Greenman told the Globe over the weekend. Get Rhode Map A weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State. Enter Email Sign Up The bigger picture: Greenman is not a pushover, even as a first-time candidate. He's a smart and thoughtful community leader who shouldn't have trouble raising money, and his wife, Erin, was on the school committee for a decade. Then again, Grebien is having a bit of a moment right now. The Advertisement Greenman acknowledged that he faces an uphill battle against Grebien, who is generally well-liked by the voters and his colleagues in government. It's also never easy to beat an incumbent, as Grebien learned in 2008 when he lost to then-mayor James Doyle. But Greenman maintains that 'there has never been a campaign about competing visions for the city' in Grebien's 14 years in office. It's true. Grebien has won every election by comfortable margins. 'I think this is about the past versus future,' Greenman said. 'Being nice isn't enough to move the city forward.'
