Alice Stewart, a Georgia native who became a national political analyst and adviser to GOP presidential contenders, has died, according to CNN, her current employer.
“Law enforcement officials told CNN that Stewart’s body was found outdoors in the Bellevue neighborhood in northern Virginia early Saturday morning. No foul play is suspected, and officers believe a medical emergency occurred,” CNN reported Saturday evening.
Stewart, 58, had roots in Georgia, working as an anchor and reporter in Savannah and as an associate producer in Atlanta, according to the Harvard Kennedy School, where she was a resident fellow in 2019. On her “The Alice Stewart Show,” she engaged political leaders at the local and national level. And she was a political commentator for CNN.
Stewart appeared on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” radio show and podcast on May 8 to talk about U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ultimately failed effort to oust fellow Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.
She and host Bill Nigut talked briefly about her stint at WSB-TV as an associate producer. She said she was raised in Tucker and graduated from the University of Georgia before getting that job.
Stewart would later become communications director for numerous high-profile Republicans as they sought the U.S. presidency, speaking for the campaigns of Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Rick Santorum and Rep. Michele Bachman, according to Harvard.
