Me, recognizable.

It's very interesting to see how people relate to me when they find out that I wasn't born and raised in the district, a lot of which has neighborhoods that are very tight-knit.

In my materials, I put front and center that my family comes from a similar city with a similar working class with similar ethnic backgrounds.

And, a lot of people relate to that.

For example, when I mentioned to one (older) (retired) (union) (white) woman the name of the steel plant that one of my (Polish) relatives worked at, she was like, "Yeah, I've heard of that."

That same woman asked me about the nuns on my flier, too, and she even knew the order of my great aunt.
