A member of The Republicans (LR), he was also elected a member of the Regional Council of Burgundy in 2010. He was elected to the newly-created Regional Council of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in 2015, holding a seat until his resignation in 2017.

In the European Parliament, Danjean represented France's East constituency until 2019, when he was reelected for a third term in the newly-reestablished nationwide constituency.
