John Rose in Survey of 2018 House campaign websites


On Abortion: Life begins at conception; defund Planned Parenthood

I am Pro-Life. I support the life of the unborn and always have. Life begins at conception and should be protected. My wife and I just had our first child, Guy, and the blessing of knowing that his life was created by God is unmatched. I will vote to defund Planned Parenthood. Instead, I support the work of our local women's service providers as they help women without performing or encouraging abortions. I hope to represent this district as a Christian man who will protect Tennessee values.

On Education: Keep education local; reject Common Core

Keeping education as local an issue as possible makes sense. I believe the federal government has a role to play in education, but the Department of Education should not exist to pass down standards that are one size fits all. Instead, the federal government should be a resource for states as they craft policy that works for them. Here in Tennessee, we have rejected common core and I will fight to be sure such policies are kept out of our state.

On Foreign Policy: Relationship between US, Israel critical to defeat terrorism

The relationship between the United States and Israel is critical. They are partners in the mission to defeat terrorism. We must stand ready to protect our ally so that nuclear capabilities are reduced in the region and peace may be achieved.

On Gun Control: Life member of NRA, 2nd amendment is fundamental to America

The right to keep and bear arms is a right guaranteed by our Constitution. It is fundamental to America. In Washington, I will be a reliable voice and vote for protection of 2nd amendment rights. I am a life member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and will stand firm in securing our American freedoms.

On Health Care: Replace ObamaCare with market-based, patient-centered reform

I support repealing ObamaCare. ObamaCare was passed without bipartisan support, it is damaging businesses across the country, and it is unsustainable. As a small business owner, I experience firsthand the consequences of ObamaCare. In fact, the costs in my business alone are set to increase by more than 40% thanks to ObamaCare. I will vote to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with market-based, patient-centered reforms.

On Homeland Security: Fund the military at level for protection country needs

I support our troops. I believe we must equip them for success in their mission by adequately funding the military. Young men and women risk their lives to protect America. America needs to be sure our troops have the manpower and resources to accomplish their task. I will vote to fund the military at a level that will allow for the protection this country needs.

On Immigration: Illegal immigrants not "undocumented," deport them

Securing our nation begins by protecting our borders and the sanctity of U.S. citizenship. The immigration system just does not work. Those who made it across the border illegally are protected in sanctuary cities and unfairly given advantages over those trying to enter the country legally. Immigrants who are in the United States illegally are not "undocumented"; they are illegal and should face the consequences of breaking the law--deportation.

On Principles & Values: I will contribute to Making America Great Again

President Trump was elected in historic fashion to shake up Washington and improve the lives of Americans. I will contribute to Making America Great Again by supporting the President's policies and carrying the concerns of my fellow 6th District Tennesseans to Washington.

On Tax Reform: Tax code too complicated; make it easier to file

Thanks to decades of new laws and regulations our tax code is too complicated. When tax time comes many average Americans cannot file on their own. That is unacceptable. I support and will vote for a fair, simple tax code that promotes economic growth and makes filing taxes easier on all Americans.

On War & Peace: Radical Islamic terrorism is real; supports travel ban

Defending our nation against terrorism and foreign nuclear threats is paramount. It is time we recognize that radical Islamic terrorism is real. These terrorists hate America and want to bring harm to our country when possible. We must be aware of the threat of terrorists entering our country with intent to build support for their anti-American cause. I support the President in his temporary travel ban on the countries that present the greatest threat to our security.

On Welfare & Poverty: Welfare lets able-bodied workers sit on sidelines & get paid

The welfare system is a trap that keeps too many Tennesseans in a state of dependency. Our social safety nets were intended to be a safeguard for the most vulnerable in our society. Instead, many able-bodied workers sit on the sidelines and receive a check rather than earning a wage. That becomes a cycle learned by their children, friends and neighbors. I support welfare reform that provides support to those who need it most and won't send our country further into debt.
