CONGRESSMAN JOHN ROSE TO SPEAK AT CUMBERLAND COUNTY REPUBLICAN WOMEN EVENT

Cumberland County Republican Women (CCRW) will welcome Congressman John Rose as a guest speaker for the monthly meeting on April 4, 2024. The doors will open at 5 p.m. with the program beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Building 1 at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT), located at 910 Miller Avenue in Crossville. “We are delighted that Congressman Rose will be with us to share his Washington insights. As our representative, he has been unfailing in his willingness to keep us informed as he encourages us to continue our involvement in the political process,” said CCRW President Linda Clark. U.S. Representative John Rose is serving his third term in Congress. He represents nineteen counties in Tennessee's Sixth Congressional District on the House Agriculture Committee and House Financial Services Committee. A lifelong Tennessean, he was raised in Cookeville and lives there with his wife Chelsea and sons Guy and Sam. As a farmer, attorney and small business owner, Representative Rose’s life experiences as a political outsider have led him to become one of the most conservative members of Congress, scoring 100% on Heritage Action for America’s scorecard. That conservative perspective is front and center as he works to reduce the National debt and reign in government spending in an effort to leave America better for the next generation. He also believes in reducing burdensome federal regulations on individuals, families, businesses, and community banks, which is a regular part of his work on the prestigious House Financial Services Committee. Representative Rose started in business as a successful young entrepreneur, remaining the owner and president of Boson Software, LLC. Prior to serving in Congress, he served as Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Tennessee. He also volunteered and served as chairman of the Tennessee State Fair Association. The group is credited with having saved the more than 100-year-old State Fair, when it was abandoned by Nashville’s Metro Fair Board in 2010. Today, the State Fair is proudly held in the Sixth Congressional District in Lebanon on the thriving Wilson County-State Fairgrounds. John graduated from Tennessee Technological University with a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness economics. He went on to complete his Master of Science in agricultural economics at Purdue University and his Juris Doctorate at Vanderbilt University. The Rose family are active members in the Cookeville community and attend Jefferson Avenue Church of Christ.
