Her perpetual kindness, wisdom, faithfulness to family, community, and country are legendary. Her patriotism had no bounds.\n\n\u201cAs First Lady, she perseveringly and with her matter-of-fact manner elevated the plight of mental illness to national attention\u2014As a farm wife, the footage of her carrying her sewing machine into the White House stirred surprise and even criticism in many privileged quarters.\n\n\u201cShe tried to show struggling families at home and abroad how to be more self-sufficient. As a White House policy staffer at the time, I had the privilege of working with her as an ally in neighborhood revitalization in some of the most forgotten corners of America.\n\n\u201cShe was a lady in every sense of the word\u2014gracious, erudite, persuasive. She was faith-filled, indefatigable, committed, and truly a credit to our great nation.\n\n\u201cMay her spirit and memory comfort her husband, her family, staff, and all the millions of people the Carter family touched with healing and inspiration. Rest in peace Rosalynn.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "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://kaptur.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/kaptur-statement-passing-former-first-lady-rosalynn-carter"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.699831172823906, "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"}
