By my count, 11 of the candidate profiles on the DCCC's Red-to-Blue list boast about the candidate's Nth generation roots in their district. As time passes, I'm finding that language creepier and creepier. I think it needlessly concedes nativist ground. https://redtoblue.dccc.org

Honestly I find even “I’m a native <x>” pretty creepy. That’s nice, your family didn’t have to move somewhere for a better job when you were a kid. Mine did, should I genuflect?

Maybe they've just been watching too much Game of Thrones. "My blood is the blood of the First Men, our House has guarded this district for a hundred generations!"
