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.

This series documents a cross section of Stevens's business interests through clippings, daily calendars detailing his whereabouts, telephone logs, and a correspondence reading file with chronologically organized carbon copies of outgoing mail. Invitations and event programs are evidence of the many parties, receptions, private concerts, and art openings the Stevenses were asked to attend; dinner party and reception planning documents also record the many events the Stevenses hosted. Financial records contain a wide range of personal and professional expenditures, including the personal tax records for both Roger L. Stevens and Christine G. Stevens, miscellaneous bills and receipts, and information on checking accounts and investment portfolios with banks such as Irving Trust Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, both of which are represented elsewhere in the collection.

Stevens collected information on investment opportunities with the newspaper the Honolulu Star Bulletin, Tiffany and Company, and electronics manufacturer Technical Services, Inc. A file on Thorley House of Flowers reveals professional and personal contacts to whom he sent flowers in the late 1950s. Writings by Stevens detail his thoughts on the real estate industry. The series also holds the business papers of Rolace, Inc., an office management company that addressed the administrative needs of Stevens's theatrical, real estate, and other business endeavors between 1965 and 1972.
