Stewart has been considered a rising star in the Connecticut Republican Party.[7] In March 2018, after much speculation, she entered the race for Governor of Connecticut. However, her late entry caused problems with fundraising and accumulating delegate support, so she switched her campaign to one for lieutenant governor. She then lost the Republican primary for that race on August 14, coming in second against State Senator Joe Markley.
