Stensrud was first elected to the House in 2010, unseating incumbent Rep. Maria Ruud by 107 votes. He served on the Commerce and Regulatory Reform, the Jobs and Economic Development Finance, and the State Government Finance committees.

During Stensrud's tenure in the House, he supported merit pay for high performing teachers, and was part of the creation of a controversial budget surplus which involved borrowing money from schools against future tobacco settlements.

Stensrud was defeated by Democrat Yvonne Selcer in the 2012 election, and again in the 2014 election.

Stensrud graduated from Bloomington Lincoln High School in Bloomington, then went on to Bethel University in Arden Hills, earning his B.A. in business. He and his family are active members of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie.
