I think you're reading far too much into that - being part of a well-established local political dynasty definitely gives politicians significant advantages on their home ground that may not translate elsewhere

consider someone like Richard M. Daley he didn't run all of his elections based on his father's name either, but he sure as shit gained an initial advantage and continued to benefit from the association on an ongoing basis

the tweet is meant literally: people not from Minnesota (which I am) do not know that about her, and it is an explanation not for her entire political career but a lesson in how she got elected in the first place.

That’s not how you phrased it but I think it’s still ok, on your end, because you were talking about perceptions of others, not your own
