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 road to Tennessee's future CANNOT be paved with potholes. I'll fix that.
Serving the people of Cumberland County in Congress has been an honor, and it was great to be back with you on the #TNTrueTour. Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared your perspectives, and challenged me to think even deeper about the issues affecting Tennessee. These conversations make us better and help move our state forward.
White County has always shown me a warm welcome, even when I first hit the campaign trail for Congress. Thank you for an incredible #TNTrueTour stop! I’m grateful for the ideas you shared and the chance to discuss how we can work together to make White County an even better place to work and raise a family.
As the only major candidate in the Republican primary for Governor who was born and raised in Tennessee, you can bet I will never roll over to foreign or out of state interests. It's Tennessee First for me.
