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.
Benjamin Franklin’s legacy is a powerful reminder that our next Governor has a duty to protect and grow this state within the enumerated powers of government while fiercely defending the rights of the citizenry - rights given by God and secured by man. You have my word that, as Governor, I will always keep my oath and uphold the Constitution. I was honored to be in Franklin to attend today’s statue unveiling of one of our great founding fathers.
🗳 Six months from today, voters will head to the polls to decide Tennessee's next Governor. As an eighth generation Tennessean, one of the most conservative Trump-endorsed members of Congress, and a successful business owner, I'm the candidate with the experience and the record to lead Tennessee and protect what makes it special. I want to earn your vote 🗳
Chattanooga played an important role in my early career after college, and it was an honor to return and speak with the Chattanooga Civitan Club. Thank you for the warm welcome and meaningful conversation. I enjoyed sharing my vision for Tennessee and hearing from leaders right here in the Scenic City.
My grandfather, Guy Williams, was an oil wildcatter and worked in the rock quarry business in Fentress County. He worked hard, took risks, and built something for his family and community—just like so many Tennesseans have done for generations. His entrepreneurial spirit inspired me to start my own business, and we were proud to name our son after him. My grandfather tried, and failed at times, but ultimately he found success through perseverance and grit. Every Tennessean knows someone like my grandfather—someone whose hard work helped shape who they are and helped make our state what it is today. I am grateful for that legacy and proud to carry it forward.
In Tennessee, a good handshake still means something. The men and women of the Tennessee Associated Builders and Contractors are building our state from the ground up. Strong communities are built by hardworking Tennesseans. Thank you, Associated Builders and Contractors - Greater Tennessee for a warm welcome!
