House Democratic Leaders' statement on the passing of President Jimmy Carter

Rep. Jordan A. Harris    December 29, 2024 | 5:55 PM

Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders issued the following statement on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter: 

“President Carter dedicated his life to serving the American people, from his time as a submariner in the nuclear navy to fighting for equality and civil rights as a Georgia state senator and then as governor. 

“As president, he guided the nation past the dark memory of Watergate. Here in Pennsylvania, he was a steady, calming voice during the Three Mile Island crisis. Always an engineer, he was among the first to identify and advance renewable energy policies that, had they been maintained, could have changed the world we live in today. 

“After his presidency, he became a world leader once again in the arena of human rights and democracy, for which he was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, and for decades, he was the face—and the man swinging the hammer—for Habitat for Humanity.  

“Please join us in keeping former President Carter’s loved ones in your prayers as our nation mourns together.”
