John Rose on Principles & Values

 

 


Farming has always been a passion of his; 8th generation

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. 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. He studied agriculture at Tech, an easy choice for him since farming has always been a passion of his.

Tennessee's bedrock values emanate from Christian values

Rose doesn't share much of a platform in the limited clip, but boasts Tennessee's low taxes and limited government regulation, citing the state's reliance on Christianity for what he called its "hospitable" environment for business and individuals. "Fundamentally, I think that environment we have in Tennessee comes from our bedrock values, and much of that emanates from our Christian values," Rose added.

Overturn presidential election due to pandemic voting rules.

Justice Rose wrote the Court's decision on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: "TX v. PA, GA, MI & WI" on Dec 11, 2020:

Summary of lawsuit, Dec. 7:: The 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities including:

Supreme Court Order, Dec. 11: The State of Texas`s motion is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.

Texas Tribune analysis, Dec. 11:: Trump--and Republicans across the country--had pinned their hopes on the Texas suit. In a series of tweets, Trump called it `the big one` and later added, `it is very strong, ALL CRITERIA MET.` If the court had heard the case, Sen. Ted Cruz said he would have argued it, at the request of Trump.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated they would have allowed Texas to bring the case but said they would `not grant other relief.` In a series of tweets after the ruling, Trump raged against the decision, which he called `a disgraceful miscarriage of justice.`

Oppose certification of the 2020 Presidential election.

Rose voted YEA blocking certification of the Electoral vote

Explanation of 1/6/21 Electoral Certification, by Emily Brooks, Washington Examiner:Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Gosar led an objection to counting Electoral College votes from the state of Arizona, the first formal objection to state results in a series of moves that will delay the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election over President Trump. Cruz is advocating for an `emergency 10-day audit` of election returns in disputed states. The usually ceremonial joint session of Congress that convenes to count and accept Electoral College votes will be put on hold as the House and Senate separately debate the objection.
