Perry Johnson

We’re launching our statewide “Save the Ticket” tour! We’ll be traveling the state joined by some very BIG endorsements who are emphasizing that we need Perry as our nominee to save the ticket for Republicans and take the fight to Jocelyn Benson. Statement From Perry Johnson: “I am the only candidate with the experience, message, and resources to defeat Jocelyn Benson in November. Michigan taxpayers are sick and tired of having their tax dollars wasted by career politicians and insiders. They work for the special interests funding their campaigns, and Michigan taxpayers get stuck with the bill. Last week, Michigan GOP Primary voters saw a preview to the same story they have seen over and over, a Trump endorsed liberal John James, unable to handle the pressure, melting down on the debate stage and putting the rest of the Republican ticket at risk in November. John James is weak and a liberal. GOP voters and right leaning independents will rebel against Republican candidates up and down the ballot in November if we allow his special interest fueled campaign, racially charged rhetoric, and extreme liberal policies to define our party. It has already happened twice here in Michigan, we can’t let it happen again. Michigan cannot afford Governor Jocelyn Benson with a Democrat State House and State Senate as a result of nominating John James to lead our ticket.”

Amazing that @JohnJamesMI continues to lie about his vote for the Kill Switch when the information is so easily accessible. There was an amendment to kill the Kill Switch from a bigger bill, and every single Michigan Republican voted AYE except for John James, who voted NO with all the Michigan Democrats. Look for yourself here: govtrack.us/congress/votes…

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, John. Let’s talk about who’s co-located in your headquarters: Rainbow PUSH, founded by none other than the Godfather of DEI, Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson, who is notorious for faking hate incidents, who compared President Trump and Republicans to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. One of the reports from Rainbow PUSH in 2025 is titled “Structural Racism in America” which claims that all whites are racist because of societal factors beyond their control. So, while we’re talking about your company, what do you have to say about the company you’re keeping?

My family built a business by helping move American-made parts and keeping Michigan assembly lines running. I know what it takes to create jobs and keep them HERE. As Governor, I'll put that experience to work creating more jobs, strengthening manufacturing, growing our economy, and making Michigan the manufacturing POWERHOUSE of America once again. 🇺🇸

We love our Michigan State Police! Thanks for always keeping us safe as we travel our amazing state!

See you soon, Marquette! Excited to have Ralph Rebandt and Ryan Kelley with us today as part of our statewide Save the Ticket Tour!

Outsiders Unite! Back on the road today in Traverse City, Marquette, and Macomb for Day 2 of our Save the Ticket Tour. Thanks for the huge endorsements yesterday! Statement From Ryan Kelley, Former Republican Gubernatorial Candidate: “Grassroots conservatives are tired of being told to settle for candidates who cannot win and will not fight. Perry Johnson is taking his message directly to the people, and voters are responding. He has the resources, the plan, and the backbone to save the ticket and finally give Michigan the conservative leadership we deserve.” Statement From Kevin Rinke, Former Republican Gubernatorial Candidate and Business Leader: “Perry Johnson understands business, understands taxpayers, and understands what it takes to fix a broken state government. Michigan does not need another career politician making promises they cannot keep. We need a conservative outsider with a real plan to cut taxes, audit Lansing, and make Michigan competitive again. That is why I am proud to support Perry Johnson for Governor.” Statement From Pastor Ralph Rebandt, Former Republican Gubernatorial Candidate and Faith Leader: “This election is about more than politics. It is about the future of our families, our freedoms, and our state. Perry Johnson is the candidate who can bring conservatives together, stand up for our values, and defeat Jocelyn Benson in November. I believe Perry is the right man at the right time to lead Michigan.” Statement From State Representative Matt Maddock: “Perry Johnson is the only candidate in this race with the momentum and the message to unite conservatives and beat Jocelyn Benson. His MEGA Audit, income tax elimination plan, and property tax reform are exactly the kind of bold ideas Michigan needs. Republicans cannot afford to nominate weakness at the top of the ticket. We need Perry Johnson.”

A strong candidate should be able to defend his record with substance, not fall back on the weak race card. We need a Republican nominee who can hold Jocelyn Benson accountable for her husband profiting tens of millions from data centers in Michigan. John James cannot do it because the data center builders in Michigan are among his biggest donors. And James has already proven he cannot handle his own conflict with data center special interests. Instead of defending his record with substance, he plays the race card. Opposition to data centers is a key element of Republican victory this November, and John James is a liability at the top of our ticket. youtube.com/watch?v=YOVQjv…

Former Governor candidate Ryan Kelley (me) is supporting PERRY JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR. Eliminate the income tax, reform property tax and push towards elimination, audit our budget and cut the fraud and waste of government spending. Vote Perry Johnson! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Exactly two years ago, an assassin tried to take President Trump from us in Butler, Pennsylvania. By the grace of Almighty God, he turned his head, stood back up, raised his fist, and kept fighting. We thank God for saving President Trump that day, because America needed him to save our country. May God continue to protect President Trump, bless his family, and bless the United States of America.

Great stop at Kelly’s Downtown in Lansing on our Save the Ticket Tour. Even the media sees what we are seeing on the ground: conservatives are fired up, the momentum is real, and this race is moving. I won the debates because I proved I can take the fight directly to Jocelyn Benson. John James played the race card because he cannot defend his record on the MEDC, China, and DEI. Our MEGA Audit, income tax elimination plan, and property tax reform are energizing Republicans across Michigan!
