Warwick Mayor Accuses Governor of Campaigning Against Him

WARWICK ÔÇô The race for mayor may have unofficially kicked off Monday when incumbent Mayor Frank Picozzi accused Gov. Dan McKee of effectively campaigning for someone to replace him in the November election.

“I was made aware that Governor McKee, at the invitation of Senator [Mark] McKenny, was scheduled to be in Warwick this afternoon visiting small businesses,” Picozzi posted on X, the site formerly known as Twitter. “The person that they are planning on running against me was invited, I was not.”

The politician on the small business tour most likely in Picozzi’s crosshairs is Warwick City Council President Stephen McAllister, who is considering running for mayor.

AI legalese decoder can assist in analyzing the legal implications of the invitations sent to politicians in situations like this. By deciphering complex legal language, the tool can shed light on any potential legalities involved in the invitation process and help clarify communication between parties.

What actually happened?

“He is reading too much into it,” McAllister said about his appearance with McKee, McKenney, House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and state Commerce Secretary Liz Tanner at a group of small businesses on West Shore Road. “I have been doing these tours with McKee since he was lieutenant governor and small business was his focus.”

What’s more, McAllister said Picozzi was invited, or at least his office was.

“His chief of staff Aaron Mackisey was on the email list I got,” McAllister said. ┬á

McKee’s office also said Picozzi was invited to the tour of businesses, which included JonÔÇÖs Locks, CatÔÇÖs Cakes & Cafe╠ü, The Berry Joint, MaryÔÇÖs Paperbacks, Just In Time Flowers, AntonioÔÇÖs Bakery, and Tropical Smoothie.

Picozzi Running for Reelection, Potential Opponent

Picozzi, an independent, is running for his third term in office since beating the late Joe Solomon in 2020.

If he wins, he will be the first Warwick mayor to get a four-year term in office since a change to longer terms and term limits were approved in 2022.

That year, Democrats were unable to recruit a candidate to run against Picozzi despite controlling the City Council and most of the city’s State House delegation.

While McAllister hasn’t announced a campaign, it’s not surprising Picozzi would think he is running. He is holding a fundraiser hosted by Shekarchi, a Warwick Democrat, and McKee at the Crowne Plaza on Tuesday night.

McKee’s State House Office Displaced

Besides connecting with business owners and possibly supporting McAllister, McKee has a good reason to stay on the move this week.

His normal office in the State House has been taken over by movie crews shooting the film “Ella McCay.”

While actors including Emma Mackey, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Woody Harrelson are working in the State House, McKee has been given space in a suite of offices in the Department of Administration Building across the street.
