good amount of time with 
the prime minister,” she 
said. Stevens was chosen 
by the delegation to ask a 
question. “I began by talking 
about Israel’
s mobility sector 
as well as the rebound of the 
auto industry in Michigan 
and how it proliferated econ-
omies of scale for us, and he 
lit up when I talked about 
the Israeli companies who 
were our partners,” she said. 
“Then I asked him about 
the relation-
ship between 
Israel and Saudi 
Arabia. He talk-
ed about how 
the relation-
ship has been 
enhanced since 
Saudi Arabia’
s 
new approach 
to diplomacy 
based on eco-
nomic concerns. 
For example, 
Saudi Arabia 
opened its air space to a 
commercial Israeli flight. 
That would have been 
unthinkable four or five 
years ago.”
Stevens added that she 
engaged in bipartisan 
activities as well, especially 
those related to policy. As a 
representative of the Great 
Lakes state, she signed up 

for the water policy session. 
“Colleagues from California 
and New Hampshire were 
there to listen to a presen-
tation on purification and 
desalinization,” she said. 
“It was fascinating to learn 
about the technology and 
the investment made by 
public and private partner-
ships.”
While in Israel, Stevens 
said she talked with young 
leaders about the challenges 

Israel faces and how tikkun 
olam, repairing the world, 
is bridging some divides. 
“The trip reaffirmed my 
commitment to a two-state 
solution,” she said.
She is disappointed that 
President Trump’
s peace plan 
(which will be released after 
the Sept. 17 Israeli election) 
did not include any congres-

STEVENS ON COMMON SENSE GUN REFORM
Candidate Haley Stevens ran on passing common sense gun 
reforms. One of the first things she did on winning office was 
to send her colleagues a letter outlining her plan to begin an 
immediate dialogue on addressing gun violence in America. 
She said she plans to tackle the issue anew when Congress 
returns to Washington, D.C., following a month marred by 
three mass shootings.
Stevens, a member of the U.S. House’
s Gun Violence 
Prevention Task Force, said, “I’
ve not lost faith in what 
Congress can achieve. It’
s time to move forward on sensible 
gun control legislation — such as an assault weapons ban 
and universal background checks. We’
ve reached a boiling 
point on this issue. There’
s so much energy in the House to 
get something done.”
