Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to public service. Whether as a Georgia peanut farmer, United States President, or leading humanitarian, he never lost sight of his mission to serve others. I'm keeping the Carter family in my prayers as we celebrate his long and incredible life.
As governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter signed Title 25, granting fire fighters in the state the right to collectively bargain with their municipalities.
His signature in 1971 gave @IAFFofficial members a better, more secure future today.
May he rest in peace.
