Corey Stewart has been a member of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors since 2003, serving as the organization's chairman since 2007. Until October 2016, Stewart was the chair of President Donald Trump's Virginia campaign. Stewart's campaign for governor is organized along similar themes to the President's, with Stewart promising to "take back Virginia from the establishment and political elites in Richmond", "bring jobs back to the Commonwealth and create a better business climate", and to "never back down from conservative principles of fighting illegal immigration, defending the Second Amendment, and protecting life".

The bulk of Stewart's endorsements come from fellow alumni of Trump's Virginia campaign team, including Virginia Women for Trump founder Alice Butler-Short and Student Trump Coalition Chairman Brian M. H. Landrum. Stewart was also endorsed by Cynthia Dunbar, the national committeewoman representing Virginia in the Republican National Committee, and by the political action committee of the Virginia Citizen's Defense League, an advocacy group opposed to firearms regulations.

Stewart's campaign website highlights the following themes:

Strong Record
Corey is best known for implementing the nation’s toughest crackdown on illegal immigration resulting in Prince William turning over approximately 8000 criminal illegal immigrants to the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, leading to a 48.7% drop in violent crime. Corey is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. He led the charge to remove all county fees associated with the concealed carry permit -- the first locality in Virginia to do so.

Under Corey’s leadership, Prince William County has kept taxes and spending low, leading to $205 million in savings for Prince William residents. During his tenure, PWC was upgraded to a AAA bond rating status -- one of only 36 such jurisdictions in the nation. He led PWC to be ranked the #1 locality in job growth in Virginia and the #3 locality for job growth in the nation.

Corey successfully navigated the passage of the largest tax cut in the history of the county leading to a 30% lower tax bill than any other county in Northern Virginia. And, small business is a priority for Corey - cutting in half the time to permit a business.

Strong Leader
Corey was tapped by Donald Trump to lead his campaign in Virginia and was the first and only Republican gubernatorial candidate to support Trump before Convention.

Proven Winner
Corey Stewart has won 4 times in a diverse county in Northern Virginia without backing down from his conservative principles. He is the only countywide elected Republican in Northern Virginia.

Won't Back Down
When faced with enormous pressure from the mainstream media and Republican establishment, Corey stuck to his guns and led the toughest crackdown on illegal immigration in the nation. As Governor, Corey Stewart will never back down to pressure from lobbyists, special interest, the media, or even people within his own party.

Corey was born in Minnesota, to a working class family. Corey’s father worked his whole life as a longshoreman and instilled in him a hard work ethic at an early age.
