Stuart Whitlow: A Lifetime of Service, Integrity, and Texas Roots
Stuart Whitlow is a fifth-generation Central Texan, born and raised in Round Rock, where he watched his hometown grow from a small farming community into the thriving city it is today. His family’s story is deeply rooted in the values that define the region—faith, hard work, and community. From his great-great-grandparents helping build St. John’s Lutheran Church in Bartlett to his great-grandfather founding the nation’s first operational electric cooperative, service to others runs deep in the Whitlow family’s history.
Stuart’s parents, Geneva and N.G. “Bunky” Whitlow, taught him that leadership means lifting others up. His father, once known as “the Poor Man’s Banker,” helped working families others turned away. His mother inspired
generations of students as a teacher at Round Rock High School. Their example instilled in Stuart a lifelong commitment to service, compassion, and community leadership.
After earning a baseball scholarship to Southwestern University, Stuart followed a calling to faith and public service, earning a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt University and later completing a joint degree in Law and Public Affairs at the University of Texas. He was mentored by respected leaders such as former State Senator Max Sherman and gained firsthand experience in constituent advocacy as a congressional intern for U.S. Representative J.J. Pickle—where he learned the importance of putting people first.
As an attorney, Stuart built a successful practice in Round Rock representing everyday Texans—standing up for small businesses, victims of negligence, and working families. He also helped launch Capital IDEA, an award-winning nonprofit that continues to help low-income Texans earn college degrees and access better-paying jobs. Later, he devoted six years to providing free legal services to thousands of clients through nonprofit legal aid.
Stuart has spent his life working to build stronger communities through fairness, opportunity, and compassion. In 2024, he ran for Congress to restore common sense, protect democracy, and make government work for people again—earning nearly 70% of the vote in the Democratic runoff and laying the groundwork for a stronger, more united Central Texas.
Above all, Stuart is a proud father of two exceptional sons—both athletes, scholars, and good men—who remind him every day why public service matters.
