State election 2018
The SPD constituency delegate conference of constituency 33 Main-Taunus West nominated Stang unanimously in February 2018 as a candidate for the state elections in Hesse in 2018 . The holder of the mandate, Axel Wintermeyer (CDU), was the clear favorite and also prevailed in the election. It was placed 26th on the SPD's state list. Due to the massive losses of the SPD, it did not move into the state parliament. She had already announced that she would not run for election again as mayor of the city of Hofheim. Even after the election, Stang said that resigning from his resignation was out of the question. Pursuant to Section 50, Paragraph 3 of the Hessian Municipal Code (HGO) , a mayor who has reached the age of 50 (and at least eight years of office) is to be retired at the end of the term of office upon his application, whereby the pension will consist of pension deductions of up to 18 Percent decreased.
Positions
Stang names improved conditions in the social area and in childcare as goals. She calls the six-hour fee-free in the daycare centers a "cheap copy of our demand to comprehensively relieve municipalities and parents".
