EXCLUSIVE: Mayor Don Grebien Interview | Public Safety, Schools, & Pawtucket's Future

As part of Entering Pawtucket's continuing coverage of the 2026 Pawtucket mayoral election, I sat down with Mayor Donald Grebien for an exclusive one-on-one interview.

During our conversation, Mayor Grebien discusses why he's seeking another two-year term and answers questions about the issues that matter most to Pawtucket residents, including public safety, housing, education, economic development, quality of life, and more.

We also discuss the Hybrid School Committee proposal, the city's rodent problem, the challenges within the Pawtucket Fire Department, and Flock Safety cameras.

This interview is intended to give Pawtucket residents an opportunity to hear directly from the mayor so voters can make an informed decision.

Entering Pawtucket has invited the major mayoral candidates to participate in this same interview format, giving residents an opportunity to hear directly from each candidate.
