New York, N.Y. – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter:

"Today, we mourn the loss of one of our most humble and devoted public servants, President Jimmy Carter. 

“President Carter personified the true meaning of leadership through service, through compassion, and through integrity. 

“From his legacy as President, to his dedication to improving human rights across the globe, and his tireless efforts alongside his wife Rosalynn, in building a better world through Habitat for Humanity, he inspired millions with his unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

“President Carter's faith in the American people and his belief in the power of kindness and humility leave a strong legacy. He taught us that the strength of a leader lies not in rhetoric but in action, not in personal gain but in service to others.

My thoughts are with the Carter family and all those mourning this incredible man. May his memory be a blessing and an enduring reminder of what it means to truly serve."
