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.
Chelsea had a wonderful time at the Henderson County Lincoln Day Dinner, spending the evening with strong conservative leaders and families who represent the best of West Tennessee. With its deep agricultural roots and hardworking communities, Henderson County reflects the values that make Tennessee strong.
Our #TNTrueTour kicked off in my hometown of Cookeville and the message was clear: Tennesseans want to preserve our values. Sheriffs, teachers, farmers, and neighbors showed up with ideas to make our state more affordable and less burdened by government overreach. Now, we’re taking that energy to small towns across Tennessee. Join us.
Kicking off our Tennessee True Tour in my hometown of Cookeville was special. Thank you to every supporter whose enthusiasm lit up the room. From the farmers up before dawn, the sheriffs who keep us safe, and the teachers shaping the next generation, Tennessee is blessed with remarkable folks—True Tennesseans! 🇺🇸
It’s not often friendships from high school stand the test of time. I’m proud to have the endorsement of my friend, Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris, in this race for Governor. Putnam County represents the best of Tennessee values, and I’ll always stand with law enforcement and ensure they have every resource needed to protect our communities.
