Ohio House of Representatives

A lifelong resident of Columbus, Ohio, Stewart ran for the Ohio House of Representatives in 2002, after Republican Amy Salerno was term limited from running for another term. Stewart won handily and was seated in 2003. A voracious [liberalism|liberal]], Stewart advocated for civil rights, workers rights, and the environment as a state representative. While a swing area, Stewart again won election to a second term in 2004.[1]

Stewart again won reelection in 2006, in a year where Democrats almost regained the majority in the House. They did so in 2008, when Stewart won his final term. As a result of their new majority and Stewart's seniority, he was named as Chairman of the House Elections and Ethics Committee. Term limited from running again in 2010, Stewart ran for the Ohio Senate, however, faced a crowded primary for the Democratic nomination.

Against Charleta Tavares and newcomer Oyango Snell, Stewart placed second, losing to Tavares. He sought a seat on Columbus City Council, but was unsuccessful. He has since returned to the private sector.
