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.
🏃♂️👔I started early in this race so I could meet more Tennesseans than anyone who will ask for your vote for Governor. 🤝My strategy is simple: get to know Tennesseans and let you get to know me. The best way to do that isn't on camera, it's sitting together in conversation and I'm grateful for the thousands of conversations over the past 9 months.
🎓 4-yr university education isn't right for every student. Finding the right fit for students graduating high school can change their trajectory in life by putting them on track to a career that will feed their financial and mental wellbeing. That's why I promise to fully support Career and Technical Education as your next Governor. 💡Rutherford County Schools is a leader in Career and Technical Education - helping students think outside the box, tap into their STEM skills in creative ways, & connect with career fields that will lead to a bright future.
