In 1975, Stephens earned the Edwin R. Murrow award for journalistic excellence in editorials for uncovering a scandal in the Montana Workers' Compensation Program. He began his political career in 1969 with his election to the Montana State Senate and in his 16-year tenure, he served as floor whip, majority leader, and senate president.
In 1986 Stephens was recognized by the National Republican Legislators' Association as one of the country's 10 most outstanding state lawmakers. Elected governor in 1988, he served on the White House Advisory Council on Intergovernmental Affairs.
