Women manage the family budget, and they know exactly what Lansing's waste costs: groceries, childcare, gas, and savings. Perry Johnson will make government respect every dollar you earn.
This campaign is about respect — for taxpayers who do everything society asks of them while government squanders what they provide. No one feels that more than the women balancing Michigan's household budgets.
Eliminating the state income tax — without raising other taxes — puts $4,747 back into the budgets women manage every day: groceries, childcare, gas, and savings.
The MEGA Audit holds every department accountable for results — the same standard women are held to at work and at home every single day.
Affordable energy, a stronger economy, better schools, and safe communities — better government makes every one of them possible.
Perry Johnson is married and a proud father — and he’s ready to build a Michigan where every child can learn, grow, and thrive in safe communities.
Perry Johnson checks all the boxes — the right choice for Michigan’s future.
Michigan’s schools should be preparing every student for success by focusing on academic excellence, parental involvement, and practical opportunities after graduation. Too many students are leaving school without strong reading, writing, and math skills despite record levels of education spending. My administration will focus on results, restore accountability, and ensure that education dollars are reaching students and classrooms.
Academic achievement must once again become the central mission of our schools. Students deserve a strong foundation in reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, and civics.
My administration will promote proven instructional methods, including phonics-based reading instruction and early intervention for struggling readers, while giving local schools the flexibility to meet the needs of their communities.
Parents know their children better than government bureaucrats. Families deserve meaningful choices in how and where their children are educated.
I support maintaining and expanding educational options, including Michigan’s charter schools, while ensuring parents have clear, transparent information about school performance so they can make informed decisions in the best interests of their unique children.
Not every student needs to attend a four-year university to be successful. Michigan should value college preparation, skilled trades, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship, military service, and direct entry into the workforce equally.
Our schools should provide students with multiple pathways to success in life while ensuring every graduate possesses the literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills necessary to thrive.
Great teachers deserve support, not unnecessary bureaucracy.
My administration will work to restore classroom discipline, reduce administrative burdens, and allow educators to focus on teaching instead of paperwork. Eliminating Michigan’s income tax through the 4747 Plan will also put more money directly into the pockets of teachers and working families across our state.
Michigan taxpayers invest billions of dollars each year in public education. We owe them measurable results.
My administration will establish a stable, transparent accountability system that clearly measures student achievement and gives parents understandable information about school performance. We will review how education dollars are spent to ensure funding reaches students, teachers, and classrooms, not unnecessary bureaucracy.
Education policy should be judged by one standard: whether Michigan’s children are learning more and graduating better prepared for the opportunities and challenges of adult life.
Michigan women have done their part. Perry's plan finally makes government do its part.
“Taxpayers have done everything society asks of them. They deserve respect — not waste.”Perry Johnson — Candidate for Governor of Michigan
As Governor, Perry will launch the Michigan Efficiency Government Audit — a complete operational review of state government to expose waste, fraud, abuse, duplication, and inefficiency.
The savings will be used to:
Perry Johnson has spent decades helping more than 60,000 organizations eliminate waste, increase efficiency, and demand accountability. Finding waste isn’t a campaign slogan — it’s his life’s work.
Self-funded and independent, Perry owes nothing to Lansing insiders, lobbyists, or special interests. His loyalty belongs to Michigan taxpayers alone.
