Lois Capps, a congresswoman who’s been repeatedly voted the “Nicest House member” in Washingtonian magazine by both sides of the aisle, has resided in Santa Barbara since 1963. Capps is a trained nurse and in 1984 served as the director of Santa Barbara County’s Teenage Pregnancy and Parenting Project and the Parent and Child Enrichment Center.

Lois has served in the House of Representatives for the past 18 years, and will be retiring this year from public service. During her time in the House, she used her background in healthcare to push forward legislation and amendments related to health as well as other categories. She has sponsored or co-sponsored over 220 bills that have made it into law, founded the Congressional Nursing Caucus and the School Health and Safety Caucus, and currently serves on both the Natural Resources and Energy and Commerce committees.
