Following the news of former President Jimmy Carter's passing, Governor Hobbs released the following statement:
"President Jimmy Carter lived an exemplary life of service, positively impacting nearly every corner of the planet.
“Throughout his career as Governor of Georgia, President of the United States, and later founder of The Carter Center, President Carter was a steadfast advocate for peace and prosperity across the globe. He fought against segregation, promoted democracy, and helped eradicate two diseases.
“Above all, he was a loving husband to First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Their seventy-seven-year marriage is the epitome of partnership. Motivated by empathy and faith, they overcame every imaginable obstacle to build a better tomorrow. They will be missed but never forgotten.
“On behalf of the State of Arizona, we send our love to the Carter Family and the millions worldwide whose lives are better because of President Carter's legacy.”
