GLEN COVE, NEW YORK – Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) issued the following statement following the death of former President Jimmy Carter:

“I am saddened to hear of the death of Jimmy Carter, who brokered a peace agreement between mortal enemies in the Camp David Accords and restored faith in government after the corruption of Watergate. His post-presidential commitment to global affairs, human rights, and the welfare of others stands as a model for all who follow.”
