Charles Wesley Stewart III (September 25, 1927 – February 1, 2021), sometimes known as Charles W. Stewart Jr., was an American businessman, lawyer, and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served 22 consecutive two-year terms in the Arkansas House of Representatives, representing all or parts of Washington County, Arkansas, making him the longest-serving member in the history of that body.[1] He was required to forgo reelection in 1998, due to the state legislature's adoption of term limits.[2]
