Jimmy Carter
The Public Record
Jimmy Earl Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, to January 20, 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the office of Governor of Georgia from January 12, 1971, to July 1, 1975. During his presidency, Carter focused on human rights, energy conservation, and the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. His administration also faced significant challenges, including the Iran Hostage Crisis and economic difficulties marked by inflation and unemployment.

The needs of veterans, their widows and dependents can best be served by a single combined administrative structure.
I would have an aggressive recruitment program for positions of major importance at top levels.

Our country's not weak enough to yield to pressure or to blackmail or to abandon our most noble principles.
There are 535 people there, each representing a certain constituency.
We're more of a mosaic—a beautiful mosaic—of different kinds of people.
In the absence of that leadership, there is no leadership, and the country drifts.
