In this role, she leads the Democratic opposition on a subcommittee with jurisdiction over critical federal science agencies including the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. The subcommittee shapes federal research funding, science policy, and technology development priorities. As ranking member, Stevens exercises significant influence over investigations, hearings, and legislative proposals within her subcommittee's domain.

Stevens brings deep expertise in manufacturing, innovation, and economic development to her committee work. She served as Chief of Staff to the U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force during the Great Recession, helping save General Motors, Chrysler, and over 200,000 Michigan jobs.

In Congress, Stevens has been a driving force on science and technology policy. She was instrumental in advancing the CHIPS and Science Act, a landmark investment in American research and manufacturing. She has championed policies to expand research and development, strengthen education, and support working families. Her first bill signed into law, the Building Blocks of STEM Act, expanded opportunities for girls and students of color in science, technology, engineering, and math. Stevens was recognized as the most effective Democrat in the House on technology-based legislation during the 118th Congress.

As ranking member, Stevens has actively conducted oversight of federal science agencies. She has demanded accountability from the National Institute of Standards and Technology regarding the termination of semiconductor research programs authorized by Congress and has held hearings examining the National Science Foundation's priorities and budget. She continues to focus on securing U.S. supply chains, reducing economic dependence on China, and positioning America for long-term competitiveness in critical technologies including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology.
