In 2003, he entered the Lower Saxony state parliament for a legislative period via the SPD's state list.

He clearly missed re-election to the Lower Saxony state parliament after the state elections on January 27, 2008 . To move back in, he would have had to win the direct mandate from David McAllister (CDU) in constituency 57 (Hadeln-Wesermünde) due to his placement on the SPD state list, but with almost 32 percent of the first votes, he was over 20 percentage points behind his competitor.

For the 2009 Bundestag election , Johannßen applied unsuccessfully to succeed Annette Faße , as one of four applicants. In the Lower Saxony local elections on September 12, 2011, Johannßen repeatedly ran as a candidate for mayor of the SPD in his home town of Otterndorf and was successfully elected to office on November 8, 2011.
