CNN Commentator Alice Stewart Unexpectedly Passes Away
Although many remember Alice Stewart from her days on CNN as a conservative political commentator, her career expanded well beyond that. She also served as a communications director for five Republican presidential campaigns, including Mike Huckabee’s first campaign as well as Ted Cruz’s 2016 bid.
The Atlanta native earned both a journalism and a political science degree from the University of Georgia.
According to PEOPLE, “Stewart was found outside in a residential neighborhood near Richmond, Va., early in the morning on Saturday, May 18.”
Officials didn’t suspect any foul play and currently believe she suffered a medical emergency. Alice Stewart’s official cause of death wasn’t shared. Even so, she was passionate about running. Stewart participated in the New York City Marathon last November as well as the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in April of this year.
