He was a Labor Party member of the Victorian Legislative Council from 1999 to 2020, representing Melbourne Province (1999–2006) and then the South Eastern Metropolitan Region (2006–2020).
He previously served as Cabinet Secretary (1999–2002), Minister for Aged Care (2002–2006), Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (2006–2007), Minister for Community Services (2006–2007), Minister for Environment and Climate Change (2007–2010) and Minister for Innovation (2007–2010) in the Bracks Ministry and Brumby Ministry.

He worked at various times as a factory worker, actuarial clerk, actor, social worker and policy analyst.
Jennings won preselection for the safe Labor Legislative Council seat of Melbourne Province in advance of the 1999 state election, and was thus easily elected.
He was immediately appointed as Cabinet Secretary and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council.
He was promoted to the ministry after the 2002 state election, serving as Minister for Aged Care and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs.
He was shifted from the aged care to the community services portfolio after the 2006 state election.
He received a significant promotion in the wake of John Brumby's accession to the premiership in August 2007, receiving the portfolios of the environment and climate change, and innovation.
He was Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council and Special Minister of State in the Andrews Ministry from 2014 to 2020.
On 25 May 2016, the Legislative Council passed a contempt motion against Jennings, effectively suspending him from parliament for up to six months, unless he released documents to the Upper House relating to the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
In March 2020, Jennings announced that he was resigning from the Victorian Parliament.
The premier, Daniel Andrews, said the Labor movement was "more confident, more courageous and more compasionate" because of Jennings.
On the 23 April 2020, former MP and member of the party's Left faction Lee Tarlamis was sworn in as Jennings' replacement.
