LANSING, MI (AP)— A Michigan Republican businessman has joined a crowded field of candidates vying to be the state's next governor.
In a video released Monday announcing his campaign, Perry Johnson described Michigan’s government as inefficient.
Johnson, a management consultant, ran for governor of the battleground state in 2022 and ran a long shot bid for president ahead of 2024. Johnson's 2022 bid ended after failing to collect enough valid signatures, but not before he spent nearly $8 million.
In an interview with the Detroit News, he has pledged to spend big ahead of the August 4 primary.
