  • "I support efforts to re-enter the United States in the Paris Climate Agreement to reassert the U.S’s leadership on combating climate change worldwide, and reinstate any environmental regulations that have been rolled back." (www.stephaniefornewjersey.com)
  • "I support common sense gun reforms that will keep our communities safe while respecting the right to gun ownership. As your Congresswoman, I will support universal background checks, renewal of an assault weapons ban, and an optional gun buy-back program to decrease the number of weapons on the street. Every month, an average of 52 American women are shot and killed by an intimate partner, and abusers with firearms are five times more likely to kill their victim. Therefore, I also support red flag laws, as well as reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in order to ensure that those convicted of domestic violence offenses are not able to purchase or posess guns."
