Rudy Giuliani was in the area Saturday.
At Respectfully Republican, Patrick applauds Dave Reichert's call — in this column in The Hill — for Republicans to embrace environmentalism. Reichert wrote that his most important message to fellow Republicans was:

For too long our party has rejected environmentalism. As the country has continually grown to expect its leaders to protect the environment, we have made ourselves absent from the debate. With all due respect to the other party, it is not healthy for our country to only have one set of solutions to our environmental problems. Without acknowledging that those problems exist, Republicans exempt themselves from being able to provide conservative and market-driven solutions.
