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.
Speaking in Claiborne County, where generations of pioneers passed through the Cumberland Gap in search of new opportunity, was a reminder of the strong, independent spirit that still defines East Tennessee today. Thank you to everyone at the Freedom Dinner who took the time to share your expectations of the next Governor of our great state.
Great day in Scott County celebrating the UT Medical Center ribbon cutting! This new facility brings much-needed primary care closer to home—stronger communities start with access to quality healthcare right here where folks live and work.
