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 family farm has preserved the values—honesty, dependability, hard work and faith—which we need to rediscover as a nation.
I haven't met a small farmer who wants to be on welfare or guaranteed a profit without work, but we should take away his chains.
Nobody who's spent as much time on a farm as I have wants the government to manage our farms.
Congress as a body suffers in public opinion polls because there is no clear voice to defend congressional action.
Character and integrity are important, but leadership capabilities and a closeness to the people and the comprehension of what our people need are two additional component parts.
