Congressman Flood's Statement on Former U.S. President Carter's Passing

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement following news that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter had passed away. 

“President Carter will long be remembered for his kindness towards others, his marriage and devotion to Rosalynn, and his love for Georgia. He reminded the world that presidential leadership wasn’t just about the time in office – it’s about character and leading by example even in retirement. After leaving Washington, he rolled up his sleeves to build houses for Habitat for Humanity. He quietly taught Sunday School for decades. And along the way, he used his time and talents to help some of the least among us. Mandi and I join our fellow Americans in mourning his passing and remembering the legacy of service to others that he leaves.”
