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.
🚔🚨🚔As Governor, I'll support Tennessee law enforcement personnel and their families. They lay it all on the line for everyday citizens and expect very little in return. I appreciate Sheriff Chad Partin and the folks at the Coffee County Sheriff's Department who allowed me to stop in for a visit and say thanks for the great work they do to keep their neighbors safe.
In a crisis, a great Governor won't turn to finger-pointing, angry sound bites, and outrage as a solution. That won't fix anything. If you elect me Governor, I promise the buck stops with me. As a farmer and business owner, I know what it means to lead - the Tennessee way - because I've done it and I'm applying for the job.
◼️🟦◼️There's a Tennessee family with three precious children ages 3, 4, and 7 who are missing their father and a wife missing her husband of nine years tonight. Deputy Derrick Bonham of the Weakley County Sheriff's Office made the ultimate sacrifice for his community as he was killed in the line of duty yesterday responding to a call. Men and women in law enforcement are the last to ask for our thanks and recognition, but they are the first to deserve it.
The incredible thing about Tennesseans is that we will ALWAYS help our neighbors - come wind, rain, or snow. During my visit to TEMA, it was great to see Shawn Puckett, a longtime friend from DeKalb County. I handed off a few dozen donuts as a small thanks for the work he and others are doing to help Tennesseans pull through this winter storm. Thank you!
When Tennessee is hit with disaster we need strong leadership to assess and address the problems. Today, I spent time with TEMA staff who are working day and night to coordinate relief and recovery for affected Tennesseans. We are grateful for these men and women who are focused on making Tennesseans safe.
