Background
Genevieve Angel is a Republican candidate running for California's 44th Congressional District in the November 2026 general election, challenging the incumbent. She has no prior elected offices; the 2026 Orange County Register candidate questionnaire lists "N/A" for other political positions held. 6
Angel's campaign describes her as a healthcare executive and family nurse practitioner, with experience spanning hospitals, health plans, and community services, as well as a small-business owner. Specific employers and dates are not provided in the sources reviewed. 16
According to her campaign biography, she earned a BSN from the University of Santo Tomas (1992), an MBA from AIU Los Angeles (2007), and an MSN/family nurse practitioner qualification (2025). She also completed two years of law studies at Pacific Coast University; no law degree is listed. 1
Her campaign states she has lived in Lakewood for nearly 30 years, though the Orange County Register questionnaire lists her city of residence as Los Angeles; the sources reviewed do not explain the discrepancy. 16
