https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_family
A political family (also referred to as political dynasty) is a family in which several members are involved in politics and businesses, particularly electoral politics. Members may be related by blood or marriage; often several generations or multiple siblings may be involved.
'Lawmakers' refers specifically to legislative service, which might be more accurate. It avoids getting stuck with the type of government: parliamentary or congressional, national or provincial/state, etc. Note how it works in the first example:
