In one of his first legislative votes, Stagni joined a group of mostly Democrats to oppose Representative Thomas G. Carmody's bill to permit, via state constitutional amendment, voters to override local officials who order the removal, dismantlement, or defacing of [[Confederate]] military monuments. The Carmody bill passed the House, 65 to 31, but was killed in the state Senate when Senate President [[John Alario]], a leading [[RINO]], sent it to a hostile committee. The Legislative Black Caucus walked out of the House to protest passage of the bill.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/05/confederate_monument_house_vote.html#incart_river_home|title=To protect Confederate monuments, here's how Louisiana House voted|publisher=''New Orleans Times-Picayune''|date=May 16, 2017|accessdate=May 16, 2017}}</ref>
