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.
“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 There's a spirit of service at Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee in the volunteers, staff, and partners who work to ensure families are fed when they need it most. Tennesseans stand together and lift each other up.
I want to congratulate Cameron Paschal from Smith County for successfully completing the highly competitive Officer Candidate School as he continues his journey to become a Pilot in the United States Navy. You may have seen Cameron working with our campaign over the spring and summer. Now, he's fulfilling his dream. I couldn't be more proud. Please join me in congratulating Cameron and keep him in your prayers as his training continues in Pensacola, FL.
👉👉👉As an 8th generation Tennessean, I can confidently say this state was built by people with top-notch grit and determination. Tommy Hunt in Maryville is one of those people 💪He's President and CEO of Calloway Oil Company and EZ Stop Food Marts, a former Blount County Chamber President, and was State President of the Tennessee Future Farmers of America. I'm grateful for the support of folks like Tommy who lead with integrity and work harder than most.
