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.
👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼Starting July 1st, Workforce Pell will provide financial aid for high‑quality, short‑term training programs running 8-15 weeks and totaling 150–599 clock hours. The people who receive these grants will be ready to work in the skilled trades - welders, electricians, plumbers, etc. 🔊I will keep saying it - not every Tennessee student needs a college degree (or college loans) to achieve their American Dream.
I'm on a 9️⃣5️⃣ county mission to earn your support. Today, our team took to Capitol Hill where state legislators signed my petition for Governor. ✍️I want your signature, too. Comment below if you haven't signed and want to connect with our team. Also, keep an eye out for upcoming events where I'll have my petition and would love to see you!
Protecting Tennessee is personal to me. My family came here 236 years ago and carved out a life for themselves on the frontier, which they made into a home. I'm not too eager to pave this state over. We need to grow responsibly, with reasonable expectations that the burden of outside development won't be put on the backs of average Tennesseans.
As a boy, I painted fences at the 🎡Putnam County Fairgrounds, showed 🐑livestock as a teenager, and later became 🏆Chairman of the Tennessee State Fair Association. Now, I'm proud to support the people who are keeping our Tennessee fairs alive and well as part of the Tennessee Association of Fairs. 👏🏼Keep up the great work! Thanks to the Wilson County Fair - TN State Fair for letting me join your table.
