Charles Stewart (March 26, 1917 – October 3, 1991) was a Canadian politician who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1975 to 1982, sitting with the governing Progressive Conservative caucus.

Political career

Stewart ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1975 Alberta general election. He won the electoral district of Wainwright defeating two other candidates by a comfortable majority to pick up the seat for the governing Progressive Conservative party.[1]

He ran for a second term in office in the 1979 Alberta general election. Despite the opposition making gains Stewart slightly improved on his total popular vote. This resulted in him keeping seat by a comfortable majority.[2] He retired from provincial politics at dissolution of the assembly in 1982.
