CNN said on Saturday that Alice Stewart, a political analyst for the cable news network who worked for multiple Republican presidential campaigns, had passed away. She was fifty-eight.
According to law enforcement officials who spoke with CNN, Stewart’s body was discovered outside in a community in northern Virginia. Authorities stated that they didn’t suspect foul play and that Stewart may have had a medical emergency.
The CEO of CNN, Mark Thompson, wrote an email to employees on Saturday saying, “Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN.” “An Emmy Award-winning journalist and political seasoned veteran, she brought an unparalleled energy to CNN’s coverage and was well-known throughout our bureaus for her unshakable kindness as well as her political intelligence. Our hearts ache as we deal with this incredible loss. On March 11, 1966, Stewart was born in Atlanta.
According to Stewart, who told Harvard International Review, she began her career as a local reporter and producer in Georgia before relocating to Little Rock, Arkansas, to work as a news anchor. After that, she worked as the director of communications for Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee until taking on a similar position for his 2008 presidential campaign.
She also worked as the director of communications for former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann’s 2012 presidential campaign, followed by former CNN contributor and Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum’s campaign. Stewart most recently oversaw communications for Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign in 2016.
Prior to the 2016 election, CNN hired Stewart as a political analyst. She has since made numerous appearances on the show to offer her opinions on the day’s political news, most notably on Friday’s episode of “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”
