Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but Ursula von der Leyen was born and grew up in Belgium until she was 13. Belgian-born former Australian finance minister Mathias Cormann was also an elected politician in the German-speaking community until moving to Perth at age 25. Kristina Keneally was born in Las Vegas and grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and was active as a Democrat, interning for Lieutenant Governor Paul Leonard.
