The campaign committee Friends for Chris Stewart is aptly named, given that its chief purpose is keeping the Utah congressman in office. But in a pinch, it could also be called Readers of Chris Stewart.
The Republican representative for the 2nd Congressional District is not just a politician but also a prolific author, whose name is on military-techno thrillers (including one in which a weaponized virus kills everyone aboard Air Force One), historical treatises and other books that have made The New York Times best-seller list.
In fact, from July through September, the committee spent $3,956 on Stewart’s books.
