His love of America and all of humanity was apparent throughout his lifelong public service as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, as Governor of Georgia, and as President of the United States.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to his character that he dedicated his post-presidency to directly helping others \u2014 from villagers in Africa to an East Side Saint Paul couple who needed help repainting and caulking their windows. It was an honor to join him in 2010 to help rebuild and revitalize Saint Paul homes during a Habitat for Humanity build. I\u2019m grateful to have experienced President Carter\u2019s compassion and commitment up close and I will treasure these memories as I continue to work to expand affordable housing for all Americans in Congress.\n\n\u201cPresident Carter lived his values by seeking harmony with nature and humankind \u2014 leadership that has inspired my own work to improve child and maternal health around the world. I\u2019m grateful for his leadership, kindness, and decency which brought light to the world and good to America.\n\n\u201cA public servant until the very end of his days, President Jimmy Carter leaves a positive imprint on the fabric of American history. May we all aspire to be more like him. I send my deepest condolences to President Carter\u2019s children, grandchildren, and loved ones, and join all Americans as we mourn the loss of our 39th president.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://mccollum.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-betty-mccollum-statement-passing-president-jimmy-carter"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0041031055152416, "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"}
