Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on Sunday after spending over a year in hospice care. Numerous Oklahoma lawmakers have expressed their sentiments regarding this news.
In a recent post on X, Senator James Lankford expressed his thoughts:
“Our politics were different, but I’ve always respected President Carter’s devotion to his faith, his wife, and serving others. As Americans we should be grateful for his service to our country in the Navy and as President. Cindy and I join many others in prayer for his family as they mourn the loss of their father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.”
“Tulsa Mayor, Monre Nichols, expressed his thoughts on the matter:”
Navy vet. Engineer. Governor. President. Humanitarian. What a race run by Jimmy Carter. He’ll be remembered as one of the most decent men to ever hold office. Grace, compassion and honesty. One of a kind. We need more like him. Rest well, Mr. President!
During an interview with X, Rep. Cyndi Munson expressed her thoughts on the matter, stating, “…”
“What an incredible life—an incredible example of public service and leadership. Thank you for all you’ve done for our country and the world, Mr. President. May you rest in peace.”
Rep. Tom Cole shared his thoughts in a recent post on X.
I am saddened to hear the news that our 39th President, Jimmy Carter, has passed. As with all presidents, I thank him for his service to our country and my thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.
According to Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK),
“It is always sad when we lose one of our nation’s leaders. I’m praying for the Carter family during this tough time.”
According to Rep. Frank Lucas, he stated:
“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 brought 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.”
Sen. Markwayne Mullin recently took to X to share his thoughts on a particular matter.
“President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to public service. Christie and I join all who mourn the passing of our nation’s 39th President. May God bless the Carter family.”
