HELENA, MT - Governor Greg Gianforte today released the following statement on the passing of Former President Jimmy Carter:

“Susan and I join the nation in mourning the passing of Former President Jimmy Carter. At 100 years old, President Carter led a remarkable life of service, even after leaving the presidency. Together with his wife, Rosalynn, the Carters will be forever memorialized for their legacy of service to our great country.

“As we remember the life of President Carter, we are reminded of the unlimited potential in America – a nation where a humble peanut farmer from Plains can rise to the presidency and dedicate his life to serving others.

“We are praying for his family. May he rest in peace.”
