Ag Chair statement on Carter passing

Today, Chairman Glenn 'GT' Thompson (PA-15), issued the statement below following the passing of former President Jimmy Carter:

"Penny and I join the nation in mourning the loss of Jimmy Carter—a President, Governor, State Senator, and dedicated leader who represented the state of Georgia and the American people with honor and distinction. Jimmy Carter grew up on his family’s farm in Plains, Georgia—where he later became the owner and operator of the family business. His humble beginnings and deep roots in agriculture taught him the values that guided his tireless, decades-long career as a selfless public servant. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Carter family during this time of mourning."
