What will make them effective? What's his tack?

Force of habit. Suburban Philadelphia used to be THE backbone of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. Social moderates who are hardline anti tax. Keep in mind that Montgomery County was the ONLY county in PA that didn't vote for Daddy Casey in 1990. Fitzpatrick appeals to these voters for the same reason Larry Hogan appealed to a lot of suburban Marylanders: he's not a fire breathing social conservative.

Sometimes our side needs to respect outstanding political instincts; Fitzpatrick has them

I agree with James. Beyond that the message he is pushing hard is that he is the most bipartisan member of the house, and has organizations with data that backs it up. Also pushes his environmental bonafides which play well here, and his police support which plays well just about everywhere. Next time I get a flyer, I'll scan it and post it.
