Scott Stewart RIP


It is with great sadness that I make this post. It has just been confirmed that Scott Stewart unexpectedly passed away yesterday. Apparently, he died of a heart attack. Details concerning his memorial service and funeral are still forthcoming.

Scott served Congressman Bob Stump for the better part of two decades. When Congressman Stump retired, Scott worked for the Arizona Republican Party and most recently at the California Republican Party.

He was a rare combination of computer genius and savvy political operative. More importantly, he was a kind and gracious person who was always willing to help anyone who needed it.

This has been a very difficult time for the Stewart family. His father passed away just a few months ago. Please remember Scott's mother in your prayers at this time.

God Bless Scott Stewart. Rest in peace friend.



"CRP Mourns Loss of Scott Stewart One of the
brightest stars of last year’s successful campaign was Scott Stewart, who served
in effect as the Chief Information Officer of the Victory campaign. Scott
suddenly passed away this week in Phoenix.
I remember spending what seemed
like hours in the Burbank headquarters talking to Scott about all facets of
database design and management, which was a huge part of our campaign last year.
Scott had a keen understanding of both technology and politics, and a
personality that made it easy to discuss either.


Below is Scott’s obituary. Please take a
moment to remember someone whom we truly valued as a member of the CRP
family."

from California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring

“For those who had the honor to know and work with Scott

Republican Party in both Arizona and California with tremendous dedication and
brought to the party an energy and enthusiasm that will not be
forgotten.

friends.”

Scott forgot more about Arizona politics that most of us ever knew. He will be missed.

Scott was a person dedicated to the Republican Party. I was lucky enough to have got to know him well. On behalf of all of us here at Politico Mafioso, I wish our sincere condolences to his family. Scott will truly be missed! We will post more information as it becomes available....

He was a District Chairman, PC, Convention Delegate, Field Strategy Director, Congressional Staffer, State Party official and one of the kindest, sweetest and generous people you could meet. Very important member of Congressman Stump's staff and confidential advisor to politicians big and small. In 20 years of knowing him I never saw him lose his composure. A lot of people made a lot of political hay off of his hard work and sweat and in my opinion he never got the credit he deserved for being really one of the state's first-rate political minds. We will never see another one like him and I will miss him very much.
