He has been a member of the Riksdag for the Sweden Democrats since the 2014 general elections. He initially served as a substitute member of the Riksdag, taking over from Christoffer Dulny who had been asked by the SD to resign his seat following a series of controversies before becoming a full member of the Riksdag.[2] He is currently taking up seat number 176 and is a member of the Education Committee since April 2015, a position he was an alternate for before becoming a member.[2]

Stenkvist became a member of the Sweden Democrats in 2004. He was the spokesperson for the Sweden Democrats in Stockholm County.[3] Before he was elected as a member of the Riksdag he worked as a political secretary in the Riksdag from 2010 until his election in 2014.

During his campaign for the Riksdag in 2014, he was known as being one out of two Sweden Democrats who did not want to have a ban on begging.[4]
