President Carter lived an exceptional life, and our nation is better off because of his exemplary service. Martha and I are keeping his family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. 

May he rest in peace.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

President Carter was a man of unquestionable honor & integrity. From his time as a Navy midshipman to his years providing leadership from the White House, his life was defined by service. I know his legacy will live on with the good & necessary work of the @CarterCenter.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve you for nearly fifty years, Delaware. Thank you for trusting me to represent you in Dover and in Washington. This remains true: the key to happiness is to serve others. Thank you for allowing me to serve you. https://t.co/6OpC7Zh03u

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

The Water Resources Development Act just passed the Senate 97-1. I'm grateful to all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their work getting this legislation to the finish line, and I thank @SenCapito for naming it in my honor.

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Good news—the Water Resources Development Act, named after EPW Chairman @SenatorCarper, is headed to the President's desk! This major legislation is critical for investing in our country's water infrastructure & making our country more resilient in the face of extreme weather.⬇️

Martha & I were overjoyed to see familiar faces & former members of my staff over the last few months as we said “Thank You” to those who have supported us through the years. Thanks to these folks & hard working staff, I've been able to deliver for Delawareans for five decades.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

It’s hard to describe the kind of friend John was. When we were both Congressmen, he introduced me to Martha. We were married four months later, he gave me my best friend. John was kind, witty, & willing to work across the aisle. He taught me many things & will be dearly missed.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Martha and I had a wonderful time at @DelStateUniv Scholarship Ball where we celebrated our collective hard work to make DSU the competitive HBCU it is today! Hornets Rising!

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Twelve years ago today, 26 lives were tragically taken from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

As elected officials, we have a moral obligation to end gun violence in this country. We must work together to find solutions and build a safer nation for all Americans.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Thanks to @VisitSouthDel for recognizing my work to make Delaware a great place to live and visit all these years!

Lisa, I can't think of anyone better to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate! You've made me, and our state, incredibly proud. Thank you for being such a bright light, your brilliance and can-do attitude will continue to represent Delaware proudly in the Senate.

[Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester @SenLBR]

As he gives his farewell address on the floor of the U.S. Senate, I am reminded that no one has worked harder for Delaware than @SenatorCarper.

Thank you for everything, TC.

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

Yesterday, I was honored to deliver my farewell speech on the Senate floor. It has been the privilege of my life to serve the First State, and our country. I’d like to leave you all with this: keep on rockin' in the free world!

[Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper]

I’ve seen first-hand Matt’s dedication to public service and commitment to bipartisan solutions during his time on @EPWCmte. Matt was essential to getting the ADVANCE Act across the finish line, and I know he will make a great member of @NRCgov. Bravo Zulu, Matt!

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

✅CONFIRMED: Matthew J. Marzano to be a member of @NRCgov.

Thanks to his deep experience in the nuclear industry and his work for the EPW committee, Matt will be a tremendous asset to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
