Walter Capps


 

Walter Holden Capps (May 5, 1934-October 28, 1997) was a Democratic member of the House of Representatives in 1997. Capps had lost an election to Andrea Seastrand for the 22nd district in California in 1994, which had been a landslide year for the Republicans. However, Seastrand was considered by voters to be too conservative for the district and Capps defeated her in a rematch in 1996. Capps died of a heart attack at Dulles Airport only 9 months into his term. He was succeeded by his widow Lois Capps who won in a special election.
