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.
Thank you Macon County for a great stop on our #TNTrueTour. As Governor, I’ll make it a priority to keep rural Tennessee affordable, strong, and connected by expanding reliable broadband and improving access to quality basic services—so the people who built this state never have to leave their hometowns behind to find opportunity or care.
Thank you, Wilson County, for a great stop on the #TNTrueTour. I loved answering your questions and sharing a little more about my faith and vision for Tennessee. We talked about better roads, keeping Chinese ownership out of our farmland, and preserving our quality of life in rural communities.
