In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Shtepa was the candidate of Servant of the People for People's Deputy of Ukraine in Ukraine's 77th electoral district. At the time of the election, he was an independent. He was successfully elected, defeating the independent incumbent Vyacheslav Boguslayev with 44.22% of the vote compared to Boguslayev's 31.5%. In the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament), Shtepa joined the Servant of the People faction and the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Digital Transformation, becoming head of the e-government subcommittee. He later became deputy chair of the committee on 5 October 2022. He joined Servant of the People on 10 November 2019. According to anti-corruption non-governmental organisation Chesno, Shtepa has proposed a relatively high number of bills for a People's Deputy from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, though Chesno has also criticised his vote in favour of urban planning reform involving the reconstruction of Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
