On this episode of Main Street Matters, host Elaine Parker sits down with Michigan gubernatorial candidate Perry Johnson to break down his bold plan to reshape the state’s economy.

Johnson outlines his proposal to eliminate Michigan’s state income tax—potentially saving the average family $4,747 per year—while tackling government waste through a sweeping efficiency audit. He also dives into the decline of American manufacturing, the long-term impact of trade policy, and why he believes tariffs and domestic investment are key to rebuilding U.S. industry.

Is Michigan on the verge of an economic turnaround—or facing deeper challenges ahead? Watch now for a full breakdown of the policies shaping the race.
