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 an 8th generation Tennessean, I can confidently say this state was built by people with top-notch grit and determination. Tommy Hunt in Maryville is one of those people 💪He's President and CEO of Calloway Oil Company and EZ Stop Food Marts, a former Blount County Chamber President, and was State President of the Tennessee Future Farmers of America. I'm grateful for the support of folks like Tommy who lead with integrity and work harder than most.
I'm back in West Tennessee listening and learning. Obion County Mayor Steve Carr shared his desire to see Interstate 69 finished and improvements made on West Tennessee roads. If we want Tennesseans moving safely and efficiently, we need a Governor with a vision. I've got a sharp focus on maintaining, improving, and expanding our roadways. As your Governor, I'll get it done.
🌽🫛When it comes to food and fiber, I'd rather buy from a Tennessee farmer - people like Eric Maupin in Dyer County. We better act like we care where our food comes from or we'll be importing it at the premium decided by foreign countries. ✅Let's reduce regulations ✅Protect the land ✅And, open markets for farmers to thrive like they have for generations.
