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.
🌾🔻We're leading America in farmland loss. It's making us: ✅️More reliant on foreign imports ✅️And, our most productive land is being sold by the slice. People in Tipton County are doing their part to buck that trend. Hats off to the Women in Ag Committee and FFA members for planning Tipton County Agriculture's Finest Banquet. As Governor, I'll protect Tennessee agriculture with low taxes, low regulations, and by opening new markets.🌾
Small-town Tennessee delivers quality of life and down home friendliness. Henderson is an example of one of those places. So, I was grateful to speak at the Chester County Republican Party Dinner. If you elect me, I'll be Tennessee's "Hometown Governor" - protecting, promoting, and caring for these special towns across our state.
Tonight was a reminder of who we are as Americans. The smile from Korean War Veteran Royce Williams who received the Medal of Honor after all these years sums up the pride we can have in this great country where the door to success is open for those willing to walk thru it. #SOTU2026
