    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.

    Reflecting on last night's State of the Union, I'm grateful that even in 2026 with all the division that swirls around us, we have a President who will acknowledge our Almighty God. As Governor, I promise to celebrate and defend our shared faith in our Creator and one true God.

    Tonight was a reminder of who we are as Americans. The smile from Korean War Veteran Royce Williams who received the Medal of Honor after all these years sums up the pride we can have in this great country where the door to success is open for those willing to walk thru it. #SOTU2026

    Thank you for sending badly needed help to Memphis, Mr. President. Tennessee is safer and we're going to keep up the momentum. #SOTU2026

    The most important thing said tonight? Here it is: "AMERICA IS ONE NATION UNDER GOD." If we will put our trust in God, America will prosper for another 250 years. #SOTU2026

    President Trump said the government’s first duty is to protect American citizens and told anyone who agrees to stand. House Democrats stayed seated. They will stand for illegal aliens. They will stand for foreign flags. But they would not stand for US. SHAME! #SOTU2026

    "All voters must show voter ID." Why is there disagreement over this statement? #SOTU2026

    I agree with President Trump, the tariff ruling is unfortunate and disappointing. What’s also unfortunate and disappointing is that there is a Republican candidate for governor who apparently agrees with the ruling. #SOTU2026
