Before politics
Prior to his election to the House of Assembly, Johns was a Halifax Regional Municipal Councillor from 2000 until his defeat in 2016. During his tenure as a councillor, Johns was twice ranked as "HRM's most absent councillor", missing 19 Committee of the Whole, standing committee and community council meetings in 2015, and 25 in 2014.[3] From 2007-2010, Johns did not receive a grade above "C" from The Coast's Councillor Report Cards, receiving a "D" grade in 2007, 2008 and 2010.[4] He also received a "D" grade in the year 2000.[5] When asked for an interview prior to the 2008 grades being released, Johns was quoted as saying, "Why the hell would I want to meet with The Coast?... You guys keep giving me a D and I get elected with more votes than anyone else.".[5]
Johns was also the first elected representative to serve as a chairperson for the RCMP / HRP Board of Police Commissioners and was deputy mayor of the Halifax Regional Municipality in 2010 and 2011.[6]
