Rick Stewart
Background
- Lives in Cedar Rapids and has run as a Libertarian for governor in 2022, the U.S. Senate in 2020 and secretary of agriculture in 2018.
- He stayed on the ballot after a challenge to his nomination papers, which used Richard where his affidavit used Rick; a district judge ruled for him on August 1.
- No 2026 campaign site was found. The site at his filed email domain is from his 2022 race for governor.
What they say they want to do
- An end to the income tax, replaced by a tax on land value.
- A monthly basic income for every citizen 18 and older in place of every assistance program, funded by redirecting payroll taxes.
- Lifetime green cards sold at auction to vetted immigrants.
- A universal carbon tax, paid back to people per head.
- The elimination of all nuclear weapons.
What the official record shows
He has never held public office, so there are no votes or official acts to list. His past races are results, not a record of conduct, and his 2026 statements make no claim about a record of his own.
Campaign money from other committees, by type
There is no money table because the FEC lists no 2026 House campaign for him. A House candidate must register once he raises or spends more than $5,000; whether he has is not something the record shows.
