Johnston sought the 2020 Republican nomination for North Dakota State Treasurer. He faced then fellow state representative Thomas Beadle at the 2020 Republican state convention, but the convention was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] His candidacy was endorsed by ND Right to Life,[5] North Dakotan's State Treasurer of 16 years, Kelly Schmidt,[6] as well as high-profile endorsements from Senator Kevin Cramer[7] and U.S. President Donald Trump.[8] Johnston lost the June primary to Beadle.[9]
