    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.

    Every time CoreCivic fails, victims like Christopher Hatcher carry damage forever, while Tennesseans are forced to cover the cost of negligence. I’m fighting to protect taxpayers and reform our prison system.

    I enjoyed sitting down with Franklin County Mayor Chris Guess, and Senator Janice Bowling to talk about protecting farmland, responsible growth, and our public schools. These are the real, everyday issues I will focus on as governor.

    When the winter storm hit Tennessee, Bill and Maria Lee grabbed a chainsaw, put on their boots, and got busy helping with the clean up. It's just a recent example of the dedicated service they have given to Tennessee for the past seven years. We were glad to see them Friday as we visited Decherd.

    It's 🇺🇸 #America250🇺🇸 and Hog Day in Franklin County is 💯 an all-American tradition - BBQ, friends, and fellowship. We were glad to see Governor and First Lady Lee as they celebrate 250 years of the USA. We live in the greatest state in the greatest nation in the history of the world. 🇺🇸🙏

    You gotta love it when great work is recognized.⚡️🧁 Middle Tennessee Electric, a member-owned cooperative, kept the heat running and the lights on during this monumental winter storm.

    My first job off the farm was at Smith Farmers Co-op. I learned a lot and anytime I can stop by a Tennessee Farmers Cooperative location, I'm in. Great to be in Decherd at Franklin Farmers today for a quick stop.
