PROVIDENCE â Daniel J. McKee was ceremonially inaugurated as Rhode Islandâs 76th governor on Sunday on the south steps of the Statehouse.Â
McKeeâs official swearing-in ceremony was held just after former Gov. Gina Raimondo resigned her office last Tuesday, and was attended only by his immediate family and by Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea, who administered the oath of office. On Sunday, Gorbea again administered the oath of office, but she and the McKee family were joined by dozens of invited guests and media members who were spaced out on the south lawn of the Statehouse.Â
Despite all the loss and hardship experienced over the past year, McKee shared a message of hope and optimism for the future of Rhode Island.Â
