Statement from Acting Governor Way on the Passing of Former President Jimmy Carter

“I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, a man of unparalleled moral courage, faith, and humanity.”

“While his presidency left an undeniable mark, it was his life after the White House that cemented his place among our nation’s greatest citizens. Whether building homes for the homeless, fighting disease, or advancing human rights, President Carter exemplified the belief that public service is a lifelong calling.”

“His life taught us what it means to lead with compassion and purpose. I am sending my prayers to his children Jack, James II, Donnel, and Amy, along with their families, and all who had the pleasure of knowing President Carter.”
