When reached for comment about Stevens' support for the resolution, a campaign spokesperson, Reeves Oyster, told Fox News Digital, "Haley is one of Michigan's most effective lawmakers and is focused on lowering costs, strengthening our manufacturing economy, and creating jobs – which is why polls show she's the strongest candidate in both the primary and general elections."

The resolution presents a model for "taking a feminist approach to all aspects of foreign policy, including foreign assistance and humanitarian response, trade, diplomacy, defense, immigration, funding, and accountability mechanisms."
According to the House resolution's text, a "feminist approach" to foreign policy "prioritizes peace, gender equality, and environmental integrity; enshrines, promotes, and protects the human rights of all; seeks to disrupt colonial, racist, patriarchal, and male-dominated power structures; and allocates significant resources, including research, to achieve that vision."

Stevens said during her 2022 congressional campaign that she is moderate enough to get votes from Republicans, according to WXYZ. And she indicated earlier this year to Bridge Michigan that she plans to run on a more moderate platform than some of her opponents in the Democratic primary.
The Stevens campaign also pointed to legislation she proposed this month to lower costs, create jobs and boost Michigan's manufacturing industry.
