December 29, 2024

East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter. 

“President Carter led our nation with integrity, spending his life promoting human rights and peace across the globe,” said Larson. “He was a man of deep conviction who always exhibited class on the public stage, whether he was a candidate, a President, or an elder statesman. With his deep commitment to his faith and his work with the Carter Center, Jimmy Carter demonstrated how to be a role model and make a difference in the world even when you leave elective office. He will be deeply missed by so many people he touched around the world. I send my condolences to his children Jack, Chip, Donnel, and Amy, and the entire Carter family.”
