Stevens ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the reconstituted electoral district of Banff-Cochrane in the 1979 Alberta general election. He won his first term in office with a landslide defeating three other candidates to take the district for the Progressive Conservatives.[2]

Stevens was appointed to the Executive Council of Alberta by Premier Peter Lougheed as Minister Without Portfolio in charge of Personnel Management. He continued to serve that position after winning his second term in office in the 1982 Alberta general election.[3]

When Don Getty became Premier in 1986 Stevens was appointed as Minister of Culture and Multiculturalism. He served that position after being returned handily for his third term the 1986 Alberta general election[4] until his retirement at the dissolution of the Assembly in 1989.
