In 2021 Johnson announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the governor of Michigan. He launched his campaign for governor in January 2021 with a $1.5 million advertising campaign that was featured during the 2021 Super Bowl.[9]
Johnson did not meet the requirement of 15,000 valid signatures necessary to appear on the ballot.[10] Johnson filed a suit in federal court to halt the ballot printing so he could argue why he should be included on the ballot, but Johnson and two other candidates, Michael Markey and James Craig, had their appeals to remain on the ballot rejected by the state Supreme Court due to fraudulent signatures being used by paid circulators without the candidates' knowledge.[11][12]
Johnson has expressed interest in running for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat in the 2024 elections.

Johnson has also hinted at a possible campaign for the presidency[13]. He has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to form a committee for his presidential campaign. [14]
Johnson is running a superbowl ad in Iowa for his campaign, he bought the commercial slot for more than 1 million dollars.[15]
