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.
Tennessee is proudly the buckle on the Bible Belt. The values we learn in church are the values we live as Tennesseans - treat others how you want to be treated and take responsibility for yourself.
Many thanks to Bedford County, the Walking Horse Capital of the World, for an incredible #TNTrueTour stop! Meeting so many people invested in their farms, families, and Tennessee’s future was a powerful reminder that we’re not alone in the fight for competent, qualified leadership in Nashville.
State Rep. Kelly Keisling has spent years faithfully serving his community and fighting for rural Tennessee. I’m honored to have his support. As someone whose family has farmed Tennessee land for 8 generations, I understand our rural communities and will always fight for their values as Governor.
Tennessee needs better roads. That's why I pointed to the outfield and said on day one as governor I'll start the journey to a minimum of 8 lane interstates everywhere and 4 lane highways to every county seat.
Let's teach civics again.
