Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders issued the following statement on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter:<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Carter dedicated his life to serving the American people, from his time as a submariner in the nuclear navy to fighting for equality and civil rights as a Georgia state senator and then as governor.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs president, he guided the nation past the dark memory of Watergate. Here in Pennsylvania, he was a steady, calming voice during the Three Mile Island crisis. Always an engineer, he was among the first to identify and advance renewable energy policies that, had they been maintained, could have changed the world we live in today.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter his presidency, he became a world leader once again in the arena of human rights and democracy, for which he was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, and for decades, he was the face\u2014and the man swinging the hammer\u2014for Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease join us in keeping former President Carter\u2019s loved ones in your prayers as our nation mourns together.\u201d<\/p>\n
