“It is always sad when we lose one of our nation’s leaders. I’m praying for the Carter family during this tough time,” wrote Rep. Stephanie Bice.
“America has lost a faithful and selfless public servant. While he faced a number of political challenges throughout his time in office, it was President Carter’s generosity, honesty, and deep religious roots that characterized his life. It was the same generosity and honesty that brough then President Carter back to Elk City, Oklahoma in 1979 after he promised Elk City Mayor Larry Wade he’d be back if he won the ’76 election. Very few have forgotten the warm greetings and smiles shared with President Carter as he graced our community for a town hall meeting and a Sunday church service. I extend my deepest condolences to the Carter family in this somber hour,” wrote Rep. Frank Lucas in a social media post Sunday afternoon.
