Apparently based in Dayton, Tenn., Jerry Wilson's 2012 Presidential campaign website has been ravaged by time, but a few phrases still survive--

He had started an entity called the National Write In Party and hosted a webpage with the purpose of "THIS is the 1st party for write in candidates supporting all write in candidates in 2010 and from now on if you are a write in candidate come join the NWIP and vote for an equal and justified america and against the corrupt partys. if you are a write in candidate or wish to run in the future come join the nwip."
Wilson claimed that baseball player "tony cloninger is my 3rd cousin and woodrow wilson is my great great grandfather." Since Wilson had no sons it is difficult to figure how the surname would have been passed down.
It appears Wilson went through at least three choices before a final running-mate was settled. Although the chronology is hazy, it looks like his first VP was Amy Williams Wilson, no doubt a spouse or relative. Pastor Lisa Daugherty of the Free to Worship Revival Center in Soddy Daisy, Tenn. was announced as the VP in Feb. 2011 after being chosen in an online poll which consisted of a total of "2 votes to 1." But in a Mar. 2012 Youtube, Wilson said, "I don't have a Vice-President yet, but I soon will." Subsequent ads point to Milton Gordon becoming the final choice.
Gordon was an activist in Louisiana who ran for the US Senate two years prior as an Independent. He was active in the Republican grassroots organization CenLa GoPac. His platform could be described as classic economic conservative with a heavy dose of Christian, and he ran to the Right of David Vitter, a so-called "Family Values" Republican incumbent nicknamed "Diaper Dave" due to his alleged fetish during his confirmed consorting with prostitutes. Gordon had felt the Republicans had forgotten their traditional roots, and he eschewed the Sarah Palin populist wing of the party, which had grown in popularity since 2008. Later he did not seem all that enamored of Trump, either.
In 2012 Gordon was running for City Council in his native Alexandria, La. as well being Wilson's VP, or so it appears.
Not on any ballots nor registered as write-ins that I can find, zero votes were reported for the Wilson/Gordon ticket.
Election history:

Notes:
Vitter won the 2010 election.
Dayton, Tenn. was the site of the 1925 Scopes trial. It was also where my cousin Beth taught school back in the 1970s. When she asked her pupils to identify a word that started with the letter"T," one of them said cheerfully said, "'Tater!" [i.e. "potato"]
