Warren Stewart Jr. spent last Saturday knocking on doors clad in a two-piece suit with a team of canvassers close behind wearing t-shirts bearing his name.
After canvassing, Stewart hosted his first campaign event, Win with Warren, a chance for members of the surrounding community to eat some snacks and talk face-to face-with Stewart. The event was at the house of one of his canvassers.
Stewart grew up in his father Warren Stewart Sr.’s First Institutional Baptist Church, located on Jefferson Street between 11th and 12th streets, and followed in his footsteps to become a pastor himself. He notes the similarities between being a pastor and a politician.
