DGA Statement on Perry Johnson Launching A Bid for Governor of Michigan

Democratic Governors Association Communications Director Sam Newton released the following statement on failed candidate Perry Johnson joining Michigan's crowded and chaotic Republican primary with a promise to spend $9 million in 60 days:

"Perry Johnson is just the latest extreme, out-of-touch candidate to join Michigan's chaotic Republican primary. From being all-in on Donald Trump's harmful, cost-raising agenda and supporting an abortion ban to spending over $7 million dollars on his last failed gubernatorial campaign, it's clear Johnson will make Michigan Republicans' already ugly and bruising primary even more chaotic and expensive."
