McGavick colors himself green

Supported by Christine Todd Whitman, McGavick unfurled his position on the environment to Gig Harbor Republicans. Amidst the usual "global warming is real" banter he took Cantwell to task for her role in the ANWR battle: "She is entitled to vote against ANWR drilling," he said. But she should not have personally led the fight. Alaska has long and close ties to Washington. McGavick said it "set neighbor against neighbor."
