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.

His administration also faced significant challenges, including the Iran Hostage Crisis and economic difficulties marked by inflation and unemployment.
There's only one person in this country that can speak with a clear voice of the American people.

If you do, we're going to have to kick some Republicans out of the White House and put a Democrat in, right?
These changes can be made only with you, if you help me, we'll do it together.
When I was Governor of Georgia, I tried to set up a drug treatment program in one department.
As I have said many times to audiences around the country, before I did, nobody in my family in more than two hundred years, ever had a chance to finish high school.
I know what it means to struggle and struggle successfully and I appreciate my background.
Next year, with a Democratic President, working with a Democratic Congress, we're going to have a comprehensive reform of the income tax structure of this country and make it fair for a change.
We need a Democratic President to face forward and to approach the future with confidence.
If you elect me President, before this next term is over, we're going to have a balanced budget in Washington and you can depend on that.
