In the concurrent 2012 Serbian local elections, the DSS ran a combined list in Subotica with the far-right Serbian Radical Party and the Serbian Democratic Party. Stevanović received the fourteenth position on their list and was not initially elected when the list won six mandates.[4][5] She was, however, awarded a mandate on 21 March 2013 as the replacement for another DSS member.[6]

Stevanović received the 195th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In electoral list in the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election and was not elected when the list won 158 mandates.[10] She later appeared in the seventy-first position on the party's list for the Vojvodina assembly in the 2016 provincial election and did not initially win election despite the list winning a majority victory with won sixty-three out of 120 mandates.[11] She was given a mandate on 28 May 2019, again as the replacement for another party member, and served with the Progressive-led government's parliamentary majority.[12]

She was promoted to the twenty-ninth position on the Progressive Party's list in the 2020 provincial election and was elected to her first full term when the list won an increased majority with seventy-six mandates.[13] She is now a member of the committee on culture and public information and the committee on health, social policy, labour, demographic policy, and social child care.[14]
