Patrick Larsen's coverage is focused on local government, environmental issues, energy, and utilities in the Richmond and Virginia areas. His focus suggests that he would be most receptive to pitches related to local government announcements, environmental initiatives or policies in Virginia, energy-related developments impacting Richmond and surrounding areas.
Pitches should offer insights from local experts or stakeholders directly involved in the topics covered such as environmental groups, community leaders or policymakers within the region of interest. It could also include data-driven analysis relevant to the specific policy changes affecting this geographic area.
Given Patrick's strong emphasis on legal policy regulation and citing data in his articles, he may respond well to sources with a deep understanding of how these regulations impact local communities and have experience working with relevant datasets within Virginia.
