'Meet guru Perry Johnson' in Michigan GOP candidate's Super Bowl ad

February 13, 2022, 7:06 AM

If you hadn't heard of Perry Johnson when he announced his entrance last month into the crowded field of Republicans vying to face off with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, join the club. Even in a state known for manufacturing, an entrepreneur who made his fortune starting a registration and certification company specializing in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS9100, IATF 16949, responsible recycling R2, RIOS, ISO 13485 and OMG WTH doesn't necessarily cause voters to nod and say, oh yeah that guy.

Perry Johnson sympathizes. That's why he's dropping a Super Bowl ad so you can get acquainted. 

"Meet Perry Johnson," the voiceover goes, as a suited Johnson strides through a modern factory with mathematical equations floating by like ghosts. "He's not interested in the same things that excite you and me. For Perry, it's statistics, motivation, quality." With that, Johnson stops, whirls toward the camera and barks, "Perfection!" 

Oh, OK. The ad goes on to claim you can thank Perry if your car door closes "just right," or if you "have a job in the American auto industry." Because that's what all those equations and letter/number combinations mean -- perfection, quality, high standards. Which Johnson intends to bring to government, etc. 

Hey, it worked for Rick Snyder in 2010.
