Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger offered his condolences on the passing of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States of America, stating:

“President Carter dedicated his life to serving our great nation and the people of Georgia.

As a true servant-leader, he devoted his post-presidency to spreading the very best of American ideals across the globe. His commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights has left an indelible mark on the world.

Tricia and I mourn his passing and extend our deepest condolences to the Carter family.

May President Carter be at peace, reunited with his true love Rosalynn in their eternal rest.”
