Republican John Rose has won the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Diane Black in Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District.

Rose ran against Democrat Dawn Barlow and independents David Ross and Lloyd Dunn.

Rose had nearly 70 percent of the vote, with Barlow at just over 28 percent when the race was called by The Associated Press. Rose declared victory shortly after the polls closed and he continued to lead by a big margin.

Rose’s platform includes a reduction to the federal deficit and dependence on government programs, along with repealing the Affordable Care Act. He is pro-life, and he supports the Second Amendment and building a wall along the southern border of the U.S.

“We need to take on our debt issue instead of shy away from it, build the wall, support our president, and create a health care system that works for all Americans,” Rose said in a statement. “We have a lot of work to do, but I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.”

The Rose campaign said it knocked on more than 60,000 doors and made over 80,000 phone calls.

(cont.) Rose supports a market-centered health care approach, which he believes puts decisions into the hands of patients and doctors, not insurers.

Rose owns and operates a family farm in Smith and DeKalb counties. He’s also a former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and chairman of the Tennessee State Association Fair Board.

Rose won the Republican nomination in August with 43,797 votes in a five-person field. He replaces Black, who gave up her seat in an unsuccessful bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.

…

(cont.) The district includes Wilson, Sumner and Robertson counties among its 17 counties along with portions of Cheatham and Van Buren.

Southland Advantage Client, John Rose, Outraises Opponents Ten-to-One

COOKEVILLE, TN– Congressional candidate John Rose outraised his next two closest opponents ten to one in the first quarter of 2018. Rose surpassed $1.5 million in campaign funds, a sizeable advantage over other candidates, with an additional $137,000 raised in Q1. A successful fundraising haul paired with strong grassroots support, shows Rose clearly has the momentum
necessary to win.

“I am grateful to have meaningful support for my campaign from within the 6th Congressional District. This is my lifelong home and I am determined to take Tennessee values to Washington, and get Washington out of Tennessee,” Rose said. “I am a small business owner and political outsider ready to fight side by side with President Trump to enact his bold vision for America. We need strong leaders in Washington who know what it means to meet a payroll and balance a budget, not another career politician,” Rose continued.

Fueled by a bevy of supporters from across the district, Rose’s fundraising will grow in the second quarter to help garner even more support for his campaign. As a first-time candidate, Rose is uniquely motivated and qualified to run a sustained, top-notch campaign. The Rose Campaign has $1.01 million on hand. For the next few months leading to the August 2nd primary, the Rose campaign has a strategic plan for connecting with voters through personal outreach, public appearances, television commercials, print media, mail, and more.

Rose is a conservative Republican, small business owner, farmer, staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment, and 100% pro-life. He is an eighth generation Tennessean who has spent his life in the district working to improve and contribute to his community. Rose is seeking the Republican nomination for Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District, a seat left open by Diane Black who is running for Governor.
