Scott Statement on the Passing of President Jimmy Carter
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on the passing of the 39th President of the United States Jimmy Carter:
“I join those across our nation and the world mourning the passing of President Jimmy Carter. A deeply principled and family man, he dedicated his life to public service — not only to his fellow Americans, but to humanitarian causes around the world. Through the Carter Center, his work with Habitat for Humanity, and his advocacy for democracy and human rights at home and abroad, President Carter redefined how former presidents can continue to serve and positively impact the world years after their presidency. His accomplishments as president live on, but so will his vast contributions to society he made after his term in office.”
