The bulk of the subseries documents Stevens's brief but active role in national politics as a member of the Democratic National Committee between 1952 and 1960 and as the treasurer of Adlai E. Stevenson's 1956 presidential campaign. Later in life Stevens was a regular supporter of Democratic congressional candidates including Les Aspin, Birch Bayh, John Brademas, Frank Church, Tom Foley, Claiborne Pell, but also supported Republican candidates such as Charles Percy who he met and worked with during the years as an advocate for the National Council on the Arts and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Correspondence with these and other candidates is located in the Political Fundraising folders.

This subseries contains campaign literature, correspondence, financial statements, fundraising materials, and reports. Realia includes ribbons from the 1954 New York state Democratic convention and Stevens's 1960 Democratic Convention Finance Committee chairmanship; campaign buttons and pins for Jimmy Carter, W. Averell Harriman, Hubert Humphrey, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Adlai E. Stevenson, and Stuart Symington; and convention name tags and ribbons.
