English translation:Household personalities
Explanation:
For example:

We became household personalities to most of the people in Meadville.

“Bringing in new blood with name-recognition and some stalwarts who are still highly respected by the electorate, may be the way to go in selecting a team to beat Owen at his game. Branford Taitt, Freundel Stuart, Keith Simmons, Erskine Sandiford and Wendell Callender are names that immediately come to mind. That’s five seats already because they are all HOUSEHOLD PERSONALITIES, and merely need to have the correct message to take to the electorate.”
