Meet John
John is a conservative outsider and lifelong Tennessean. He is raising his family on the Generational Rose family farm because Tennessee is his home.
In fact, John is the 8th generation to live and farm in the adjoining Temperance Hall and Lancaster communities in Dekalb and Smith Counties. He started working on the farm as a kid and was raised in nearby Cookeville. John graduated from Cookeville High School and continued his education at Tennessee Tech University, home of the Golden Eagles. He studied agriculture at Tech, an easy choice for him since farming has always been a passion of his.
It was great to be back home in Smith County, where my family and I are proud to carry on nine generations of Tennessee roots on our family farm. If my ancestors, John and Anne Lancaster, could look back today, I believe they’d be proud of the community they helped build right here in Smith County. I’m grateful for the warm welcome, the support, and another incredible #TNTrueTour stop.
Thank you to the McBride family for hosting our #TNTrueTour stop at your beautiful farm in Coffee County! I’m grateful for lifelong friendships like yours. I learned so much from our conversations and appreciated the opportunity to hear the perspective of Coffee County folks on the issues facing agriculture, the economy, and infrastructure.
Serving the people of Cumberland County in Congress has been an honor, and it was great to be back with you on the #TNTrueTour. Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared your perspectives, and challenged me to think even deeper about the issues affecting Tennessee. These conversations make us better and help move our state forward.
White County has always shown me a warm welcome, even when I first hit the campaign trail for Congress. Thank you for an incredible #TNTrueTour stop! I’m grateful for the ideas you shared and the chance to discuss how we can work together to make White County an even better place to work and raise a family.
