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.
The message we’re hearing is clear: from the farm to the boardroom, real-world leadership matters. Hamilton County is ready for a Governor who understands hard work, creates jobs, and never forgets where he came from. #TNTrueTour
Madison County showed what this campaign to serve others is all about. The volunteers and supporters have been incredible. Thank you for believing in this movement and for staying #TNTrue.
There's dignity in earning an honest living with your own two hands. Not every Tennessee student should go to a 4-year university. Many of our kids can become successful in skilled trades where they can make a great living for themselves.
97% of my contributions have come from Tennesseans. 76% of Marsha Blackburn's contributions have come from outside Tennessee. Who will your next Governor answer to?
I’m proud to have the support of over 200 business leaders from across Tennessee who know what it takes to grow jobs, meet a payroll, and keep our economy moving. As a businessman, I understand the challenges they face because I’ve lived them. Together, we’re building a stronger future for Tennessee.
