===Stagni opposes transgender sports bill===
In 2022, Stagni voted to uphold Governor John Bell Edwards' veto of legislation to prohibit men from playing on women's sports teams.
Some conservatives have hence called for Stagni's defeat in the legislative election in 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/legislature/article_d0a745a0-95b4-11ec-ba1d-e3da74141634.html|title= Kenner Republican bucked his party on a transgender sports bill.
