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.
I've built two businesses right here in Tennessee and no one offered me millions of dollars to do it or rewarded me for the jobs I created. Why do we bend over backwards to do that for foreign and out of state businesses looking to move here? Let's use common sense and realize our worth as a state.
Another great night on our #TNTrueTour in Wilson County! Thank you to everyone who spent part of their weekend talking about the issues that matter most—smart infrastructure, responsible growth, and preserving Tennessee’s traditional values for the next generation.
Great morning in Macon County on our #TNTrueTour stop! I loved hearing from Tennesseans who want to protect their family farmland, cut burdensome red tape, and expand access to quality health care in rural communities. Thank you to everyone at the Macon Co. Fairgrounds for the Tennessee hospitality!
Terrorists can run, but they can't hide from the most determined military force in the world - the United States of America. ISIS ambushed and killed two National Guard soldiers last year in Syria. That bill came due for Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS. He's done running.
Another stop on our #TNTrueTour, meeting Tennesseans where they are. In Monroe County, I heard from folks who want to protect farmland, create opportunities for our kids, uphold true constitutional carry, and ensure our veterans are taken care of.
I was honored to speak at the Putnam County Law Enforcement Memorial Service. Standing alongside the families who have endured unimaginable loss and the officers who put on the badge every day was a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice it takes to keep our communities safe. Tennessee is stronger because of the folks who answer that call to serve.
I'm the proud product of public schools and the son of a Tennessee school teacher. Here's where I stand on education👇
