John Rose

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I’ll adequately fund and always support our law enforcement, and together, we will send the message that lawlessness is not welcome here – including in Memphis and Nashville. Learn more

Economy

If we succeed in improving education, infrastructure, healthcare, and energy, economic and community development will continue to follow. Learn more

Education

Career and Technical Education should be nurtured and expanded to help students learn job-ready skills and earn certifications that will help them find gainful employment upon graduation. The new partnership between the Departments of Agriculture and Education to deliver agricultural education should be a model for all CTE programs. Learn more

Parents must have a seat at the table. Parents know what is best for their children and their families. Let’s give parents freedom to choose what works best for their family, whether that be in a public school, homeschool, public charter school, or private school. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Tennessee must meet the power demands of today’s industry and technology to maintain a competitive advantage over other states and other countries competing for new business. Learn more

Small, modular nuclear reactors will allow Tennessee to lead the nation in electric power production. Nuclear is reliable, resilient, and carbon-free. Learn more

As Governor, I’ll make sure farmers are protected, respected, and unleashed to succeed without overreaching regulations and with the infrastructure improvements it takes to keep ag moving. To secure our agricultural future, I will expand ag education, 4-H, and the Future Farmers of America (FFA) statewide. Learn more

Healthcare

I will take action to stop the loss of quality medical care and build it back. Learn more

No Tennessean should be more than 30 minutes away from life-saving emergency care. Freestanding emergency departments can be the difference between life and death for Tennesseans living in rural areas. Learn more

When someone is facing a difficult diagnosis requiring regular treatment, a lengthy commute should not be among the stresses they face. We need to bring high-quality medical care within reach of every Tennessean. Learn more

Immigration

As Governor, I will never allow sanctuary cities – not in Memphis, not in Nashville, not in Knoxville – not anywhere. I’ll support ICE and state and local law enforcement collaborating to keep our cities safe. And, I will crack down on fentanyl traffickers and drug cartels bringing crime into our communities. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

I will be sure that Tennessee elections are always: audited, bipartisan, secure, and trustworthy. Tennessee voting machines are not and should not be connected to the internet. Learn more

Tennessee’s interstates need to be expanded. I will work to expand every Tennessee interstate to a minimum of four lanes. I will prioritize implementing strategies and improvements for relieving heavy traffic areas. Learn more

Local leaders know that Tennessee has challenges with solid waste and waste water management that are getting more serious by the day. As our population grows, our infrastructure must grow with it. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

We will make Tennessee a magnet for manufacturing, logistics, and energy jobs from companies that embrace our Tennessee values. Learn more

Generating more power will put Tennessee in the driver’s seat when competing for high-quality, high-paying jobs. Learn more

We should continue bringing great jobs to Tennessee and we should be selective in the process. Our state should be nurturing relationships with businesses and organizations that are willing to embrace our values and way of life. Learn more
