Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer released a statement following the death of former President Jimmy Carter, saying “today, we mourn the loss of one of our most humble and devoted public servants.”
Schumer said that Carter “personified the true meaning of leadership through service, through compassion, and through integrity.
“From his legacy as president, to his dedication to improving human rights across the globe, and his tireless efforts alongside his wife Rosalynn, in building a better world through Habitat for Humanity, he inspired millions with his unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
“President Carter’s faith in the American people and his belief in the power of kindness and humility leave a strong legacy. He taught us that the strength of a leader lies not in rhetoric but in action, not in personal gain but in service to others.”
Rep. Scalise Salutes Carter For His Lifetime of Service
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise paid tribute to former President Jimmy Carter, saying he was “saddened to hear bout his passing.”
Scalise said he was “saluting President Carter for his lifetime of service, first as a naval officer, then as a senator in the Georgia legislature, then as Governor of Georgia, and, finally, as President of the United States. Jimmy Carter set the standard for post-presidential service through his work with Habitat for Humanity.”
