Press Releases

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) released the following statement on the death of former President Jimmy Carter:

“Whether he was putting solar panels on the White House before many understood their full potential or giving up his humble peanut farm to prevent even a hint of impropriety as president, Jimmy Carter demonstrated how the nation’s top executive can lead by example. 

“Even after leaving office, President Carter remained dedicated to the greater good – safeguarding free and fair elections around the world and with his bare hands building affordable housing alongside Habitat for Humanity for over 30 years.

“At 100, America’s longest living president maintained a commitment to election integrity, fighting poverty, and environmental protection until his last days. My thoughts are with the Carter family.”
