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.
My family and I are praying for the people of Cocke County after the devastating flash flood. We mourn the loss of life and are grateful for the brave first responders working through the night to help families across East Tennessee.
When a teacher in Williamson County can't afford to live in the county she teaches in, something has gone wrong. I'm going to make sure growth in Tennessee works for Tennesseans—not just developers and transplants.
A great turnout in Lincoln County on our #TNTrueTour! Thank you to all the folks who took time out of their day to share the issues affecting their community. Tennesseans want leaders who listen, and I’ll take those ideas and concerns with me as your next Governor.
Warren County has a proud history shaped by generations of farmers and hardworking families. Known for its deep agricultural roots and as the Nursery Capital of the World, it’s a community built on tradition and growth. I’m excited to visit June 1 on our #TNTrueTour to talk about the issues that matter most.
I’m looking forward to visiting Cumberland County this Saturday for our next #TNTrueTour stop! It’s been an honor to serve this community in Congress—home to Crossville and the heart of the Cumberland Plateau, with folks who represent the very best of our state. I’m excited to listen and talk about the kitchen table issues that matter most to you.
What a huge crowd at our Rutherford County #TNTrueTour stop! My wife Chelsea and I enjoyed returning to her hometown to talk to folks focused on protecting our Tennessee values, preserving local control, and stopping outside corporate influence from flooding our small towns.
People are moving here from all around because their Christian values have been shamed elsewhere - even mocked. We don't stand for that in Tennessee. It's faith first or nothing else matters.
