Stewart Parks

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Stewart Parks is a man from Nashville, Tennessee, and today he is doing something most people caught up in January 6 never attempt: running for the United States Congress. Get the record straight first. Parks was charged with entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, parading, and theft of government property. He pleaded not guilty and took his case to a bench trial. Held May 1 through 3, 2023, the judge found him guilty on every count. On November 15, 2023, he was sentenced to 8 months in federal prison, 12 months of supervised release, and a $95 special assessment. On January 20, 2025, Stewart Parks received a full presidential pardon. He did not walk away from public life after that. Tennessee news outlets report Parks ran in the special election for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District in 2025 and later filed to run for the state's 7th District seat as well, campaigning openly on his pardon and his record rather than hiding from either one. His own campaign filed with the Federal Election Commission under his name, and he answered a public candidate questionnaire on Ballotpedia under his own name and his own photograph, the same photograph on this profile. A man convicted at trial, sentenced, pardoned by the President of the United States, and now standing for elected office and asking the voters of Tennessee to decide the rest. That is not hiding from the record. That is putting it on the ballot.
