Data last updated September 4, 2026. The page says the August 6, 2026 primary set the ballot for a November 3, 2026 general election between Marsha Blackburn and Jerri Green; the Republican primary result listed Blackburn 43.6%, John Rose 32.9%, Monty Fritts 23.5%.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, the active general-election matchup excludes Rose after his GOP primary loss. Because the appointment promise depended on him becoming governor, the commitment is not delivered for this campaign cycle.

Rose announced his gubernatorial bid and said: "as governor, I promise to appoint a commissioner of education who has Tennessee teaching experience."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This establishes the promise as a gubernatorial appointment commitment, not a power attached to Rose's federal House office. It also shows he took concrete campaign action toward the office needed to fulfill it.

Rose’s promise depended on him becoming Tennessee governor and exercising appointment power over the state education commissioner, not on his federal House office. The evidence indicates he lost the August 6, 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary, so he did not reach the office needed to fulfill the appointment promise in this campaign cycle. His gubernatorial campaign was a concrete attempt toward the outcome, but the promised appointment was not delivered.
