A Different Kind of Candidate

 Rye's elected officials are volunteers working for the good of our community.


But all too often, their political loyalties and rivalries lead to conflict, hampering their effectiveness and frustrating residents.


Rick McCabe's loyalty is to our community - not to a political party or faction. 


An independent, he's running for mayor to work with all his City Council colleagues and represent all of Rye.
