I do give her credit for what she is doing here and now.

However yesterday she voted against:

The Protecting Our Kids Act was passed in the House with scant help from the GOP on Wednesday, with 202 Republicans voting against the gun control bill. GOP Representatives Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise, Jim Banks and Jim Jordan—all of whom voted against the bill—are pictured after a GOP caucus meeting at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on June 8, 2022.

She is still a gun loving Republican before she is for slaughtered children.

Thanks for your comments, towerbum.
