He was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2000 and served there from 2001 to 2007.
In 2000, Johnson successfully ran for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 34B, winning 62.8 percent of the vote for the seat vacated by Henry Todd Van Dellen, who had retired.
First elected in 2000, Johnson served as Assistant Majority Leader from 2003 to 2007 and was chair of Civil Law and Elections Committee in the 84th Legislative Session.
Johnson left the legislature to run for state attorney general in 2006, but was defeated.

In March 2010, the Hennepin County Board tabled a request by Sheriff Rich Stanek to spend $426,150 to acquire the cellphone spying program KingFish.
Johnson voted against tabling the motion, with the Star Tribune reporting that "Commissioner Jeff Johnson said he was convinced it was an important and useful law enforcement tool that wouldn’t violate privacy rights."
Johnson was absent the day funding was finally approved.
Johnson later wrote in a blog post that he was able to ask Stanek's office questions about KingFish and was "...quite comfortable with the answers" he received.
He was elected as the Republican National Committeeman from Minnesota in April 2011.
In 2011, Johnson ran against Tom Emmer for the position of Minnesota's Republican National Committeeman, winning an upset victory.

On May 5, 2013, Johnson announced that he was running for governor.
In December 2013, Johnson publicly repudiated his KingFish vote.
While admitting that he had supported it, he said it was one of the "votes I might choose to change".
