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.
Another memorable day on the #TNTrueTour in Maury County! The recipe for Tennessee’s success isn’t complicated: empower parents in education, prepare students for real careers after graduation, take care of roads and bridges, and keep Tennessee farmland in the hands of Tennessee farmers.
Saturah Hayes was senselessly murdered on her prom night as she was taking photos in the park with her friends and family. She was only 17 years old. Our hearts break for her family, classmates, and community. While law enforcement works to bring the shooter or shooters to justice, let's lift up the Hayes family in prayer. Remember Saturah as we discuss the importance of law and order in this state.
As an 8th generation farmer, I believe the people who feed and fuel this country deserve leaders who will look out for them. Coffee County Mayor Dennis Hunt understands the grit and sacrifice that comes with a life in ag, and I’m honored to have his support. In this race for Governor, there’s only one candidate who’s lived that life and will always put farmers first.
