GOP CT Sen Harding Statement on Passing of Former President Carter

CT. Sen. Minority Leader Stephen Harding today issued the following statement regarding the passing of former President Jimmy Carter.

“A century of life: and a life well-lived.

Decades of dedicated public service to our country.

President Carter always put family – and philanthropy – first.

Always humble and true to his rural farming roots, he was laser-focused on improving the quality of life for everyone. He did it through peace efforts and kindness, through initiatives like Habitat for Humanity and through a host of human rights and public health causes. President Carter’s passion to help the most vulnerable among us was infectious, and his relentless energy drew support across party lines.

We honor that legacy and that staunch commitment to community today as we consider the positive and widespread lasting impact President Carter has had on our world.

Our nation is grateful. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Carter family.”
