I would say it’d be more effective to be open about not being a constituent specifically but being a Dem voter elsewhere with strong feelings especially if you’re willing to put an effort into primarying them.

Personally I always prefer honesty, and I myself would be explicit about not being a constitute, but the flip side is that if he's solely focused on the next election and keeping his job (which unfortunately most politicians seem to be), he really may not care about feedback from non-constitutes.

But bottom line, they'll know, either way.
