Speaker – Chelsea Rose

Chelsea Rose is the proud wife of Congressman John Rose and mother of two young boys, Guy and Sam. Together, with her husband, she owns and operates the Rose Family Farm in Smith and DeKalb Counties comprised of more than 2,000 acres, primarily raising beef cattle. The farm was settled in 1790 and is recognized by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture as a Pioneer Farm, predating the founding of the State of Tennessee. The Rose’s sons represent the ninth consecutive generation in the family to live and farm there.

Chelsea was raised in Rutherford County in the Eagleville community. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Communications from Tennessee Tech University and earned a master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. She was State President of the Tennessee Future Farmers of America (FFA) Association and was National Vice President for the National FFA Organization, the only female to ever be elected from Tennessee.

Chelsea formerly worked in Government Affairs for the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association, which represents the electric co-ops that power homes and businesses in rural and suburban Tennessee. She went on to spend 10 years as Executive Director for the non-profit Tennessee FFA Foundation. As the leader of the FFA Foundation, she led fundraising to all-time highs, enabling FFA members across Tennessee to receive more scholarships and experience more special events and recognition than ever before.

Now, she and her family are busily working to elect her husband John as the next Governor of Tennessee. Chelsea is a founding member and former officer of the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women chapter known as the Republican Women of the Upper Cumberland.
