    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.

    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Let's make Memphis safe with John DeBerry. He has the respect of the community and the experience to get the job done in Shelby County. https://www.actionnews5.com/2026/02/11/former-state-rep-announces-run-shelby-co-mayor-1st-gop-candidate-sources-say/

    Hakeem Jeffries thinks “something is really wrong” with Tennesseans who support ICE and voter ID. Here in Tennessee, we call that respect for the law. And as governor, I won’t apologize for it.

    A special night celebrating young leaders at the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association Youth Awards Banquet. I had good conversations with farmers, families, and ag leaders from across our state. If listening to ag families is “too much time,” I’m happy to keep showing up. 🐄

    Democrats think ICE agents should carry ID. Here’s another idea: show ID when you vote. That’s how we do elections in Tennessee and why we need to make the New Yorks and Californias of the world play by the same rules.

    God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. In my interview with the Tennessean, I said, “Tennesseans want a governor who will listen to them — not talk at them.” https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/02/09/rep-john-rose-using-business-acumen-in-tennessee-governor-race/88384772007/

    My parents taught me to respect law enforcement and follow the law. That lesson stuck. As governor of Tennessee, I’ll put it into practice by backing our immigration officers, enforcing the law, and keeping our communities safe.

    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.
