Stephanie Leigh Hansen (born July 24, 1961) is an American politician elected to the Delaware State Senate as a Democrat. She is a native of the state, born in Seaford; currently she lives in Middletown, at the south end of the 10th State Senate District. In 2017 she won a special election to fill the seat of Bethany Hall-Long, who had resigned to take office as the state's lieutenant governor.
Prior to being elected to the state senate, she had served a single term as president of the New Castle County Council. Her earlier career as an environmental scientist with Delaware's state government led her to attend law school. Since obtaining her degree in that field she has been an environmental lawyer with two Delaware firms, most recently Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor in Wilmington.
Hansen was born in the southern Delaware town of Seaford in 1961, graduating from Seaford Senior High School. She later attended the University of Delaware and earned a bachelor's degree. After graduating, she earned a master's degree in science from the University of New Orleans.
Starting in 1988, Hansen worked as an environmental scientist and hydrologist for the state Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. She worked in the agency's Superfund and Underground Storage Tank branches.
