Bill > HR0013

This resolution pays tribute to President Jimmy Carter, highlighting his life, achievements, and enduring legacy. The resolution traces Carter's journey from his humble beginnings in Plains, Georgia, where he farmed peanuts, through his naval service and political career, to his presidency and post-presidential humanitarian work. It emphasizes Carter's commitment to public service, noting his time as Georgia's Governor, where he promoted government efficiency and racial equality, and his presidency, during which he worked to combat economic challenges, advanced environmental policies, and created the Department of Education. The resolution particularly celebrates Carter's post-presidential humanitarian efforts, including founding the Carter Center, which aims to alleviate global suffering, and his diplomatic work that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Ultimately, the resolution honors Carter as an exemplary American who embodied principles of decency, equality, and compassion, and who inspired hope and worked tirelessly to improve human welfare worldwide. The Michigan House of Representatives formally resolves to offer their highest tribute to Carter's memory and will transmit copies of the resolution to his family as a testament to the lasting respect and admiration for his life's work.
