In case you're new here, we've taken it upon ourselves to lead Mike Johnson's campaign to make him the next Bachelor [1]. We're not the only ones who fell in love with Mike during his time on The Bachelorette [2] and, quite frankly, we haven't seen one reason why he shouldn't be the leading man.

Cries were heard across the country (or was that just me?) when Hannah Brown said goodbye to Mike on season 15. However, even she remains a big fan of his. During the season's "Men Tell All" special, Hannah said she would be rooting for him, and then she went on Jimmy Kimmel Live [3] a couple weeks later to endorse Mike, along with another former contestant, as the next Bachelor. Who said exes can't support one another?

If you're thinking about how Mike just showed up on season six of Bachelor in Paradise [4] and, therefore, couldn't be the next star, you're wrong. Maybe you've forgotten that Colton Underwood [5] went from The Bachelorette [6] to Bachelor in Paradise to The Bachelor [7]? And if I have anything to say about it (which, well, I don't), then Mike will follow Colton's path. OK, maybe I don't have this kind of ABC pull, but Chris Harrison does, and he already confirmed that Mike is a contender [8]. Let's see if we can help push that decision over the edge, shall we?
