    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.

    Great conversation in Crockett County with Sheriff Troy Klyce, Mayor Gary Reasons, and Charlie Moore. We discussed agriculture, unfunded government mandates, property taxes, and growing industry the right way. Tennessee needs a governor who listens. 🇺🇸

    Great to be at the Chester County Reagan Day Dinner tonight! I have had a wonderful week visiting Tennesseans across West Tennessee hearing what you all have to say about the future of Tennessee. Tennesseans deserve a Governor who will listen and I’m applying for the job.

    I’ve been asked what I’ll actually do about the problems at CoreCivic-run prisons. It's simple and just like situations I've faced in my businesses: Do the job or lose the job. If a contractor can’t deliver, they won’t keep the contract.

    I want to congratulate Cameron Paschal from Smith County for successfully completing the highly competitive Officer Candidate School as he continues his journey to become a Pilot in the United States Navy. You may have seen Cameron working with our campaign over the spring and summer. Now, he's fulfilling his dream. I couldn't be more proud. Please join me in congratulating Cameron and keep him in your prayers as his training continues in Pensacola, FL.

    I helped repeal a Senate provision that would’ve let politicians sue and collect up to $500,000 on the taxpayer’s dime AND advanced the SAVE Act at the same time. That’s the kind of results-driven leadership Tennessee needs.

    👉👉👉As an 8th generation Tennessean, I can confidently say this state was built by people with top-notch grit and determination. Tommy Hunt in Maryville is one of those people 💪He's President and CEO of Calloway Oil Company and EZ Stop Food Marts, a former Blount County Chamber President, and was State President of the Tennessee Future Farmers of America. I'm grateful for the support of folks like Tommy who lead with integrity and work harder than most.

    Democrats have forced three government shutdowns to protect illegal aliens, and it’s Tennessee families rebuilding after storms who are left waiting while FEMA gets dragged into the chaos. I will never put politics before Tennessee.

    I'm back in West Tennessee listening and learning. Obion County Mayor Steve Carr shared his desire to see Interstate 69 finished and improvements made on West Tennessee roads. If we want Tennesseans moving safely and efficiently, we need a Governor with a vision. I've got a sharp focus on maintaining, improving, and expanding our roadways. As your Governor, I'll get it done.
