Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02), Dean of the Georgia Congressional Delegation, was the leading sponsor of H.R. 9600. The legislation now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration.\n\n\u201cPresident Jimmy Carter and the late First Lady Rosalynn Carter dedicated their lives in service to their community, their country, and the world. From the Plains Peanut Festival to the Governor\u2019s Mansion, to the White House \u2013 and to communities around the globe \u2013 they remained grounded and humble, and Plains always remained home in their hearts,\u201d said Congressman Bishop. \u201cDesignating the Plains postal facility as the \u2018Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office\u2019 would be a small, but meaningful gesture to honor and thank two dedicated servant leaders who spent their lives working to improve the lives of others.\u201d\n\n\u201cPlains holds a special place in the heart of President Carter as the place he and First Lady Rosalynn Carter called home for most of their lives, so it is especially fitting to name the Post Office in their honor,\u201d said Paige Alexander, CEO of The Carter Center, the nonprofit organization that carries on their global work to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope. \u201cWe appreciate the Senators and House members from Georgia who introduced this legislation as a tribute to the Carters\u2019 legacy in their hometown.\u201d\n\nH.R. 9600 was cosponsored by all 14 members of Georgia\u2019s U.S. House delegation, and it passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 381-15 The Senate companion bill to the legislation, S. 5345, was led by Senator Jon Ossoff and cosponsored by Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock.\n\nH.R. 9600 now heads to the U.S. Senate where the chamber has a year-end deadline to pass the legislation and send it to the President to be signed into law.\n\nFull text of H.R. 9600 can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bishop.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-bishop-announces-house-passage-of-hr-9600-legislation-to-name-the-plains-ga-post-office-after-jimmy-rosalynn-carter"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7811379618942738, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
