Political career
Prior to his election in the legislature, he served as a city councillor for Moncton City Council, elected in 2016.
McKee became Leader of the Official Opposition in the New Brunswick legislature after the election of Susan Holt as New Brunswick Liberal Party leader in September 2022, since Holt did not yet have a seat in the legislature.[2][3] In April 2023 Holt won a by-election and became a member of the legislature, which enabled her to take the post of Leader of the Official Opposition in May.[4]
McKee has held the critic portfolios for Health, Justice and Attorney General and Finance and Treasury Board. Also a lawyer, he practiced at Fowler Law in Moncton.[5]
McKee was re-elected in the 2024 general election. On November 1, 2024, it was announced that he was placed in cabinet as Minister of Justice, Attorney General, and Minister responsible for Addictions and Mental Health Services.[6]
