California's 23rd congressional district

From 2003 to 2013 the district ran along the Pacific coasts of Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Major cities in the district included Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Ventura, and Oxnard.[https://statewidedatabase.org/pub/data/MAPS/district/2001/cd23.pdf 2001 district map] statewidedatabase.org
