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

No, I’m not. What term would be better? We’re talking people showing up in a district and running for office there with laughably little knowledge of it.

I know what you're talking about, but it's comical that you don't know the perjorative and nativist origins of that term. What is your term for someone born abroad who runs in a district they've lived in for 10 years?
