Governor Kelly Directs Flags be Flown at Half-Staff in Honor of Former President Jimmy Carter
TOPEKA — Governor Laura Kelly on Monday, in accordance with Executive Order 20-30 and the proclamation signed by President Joe Biden, has ordered flags throughout Kansas be flown at half-staff starting immediately until sunset on Jan. 28, 2025 to honor the passing of President Jimmy Carter.
“Former President Jimmy Carter was a truly moral man," Governor Laura Kelly said. "His innate humanity, his humility, his devotion to serving his community and his country, and his belief that the world could live in peace is the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.”
President Carter was the 39th President of the United States and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his work to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, advance democracy and human rights, and promote economic and social development. President Carter and The Carter Center led the near eradication of the Guinea worm that infected millions in the 1980s. As a result of their work, today, new infections total roughly a dozen worldwide. He and his wife, Rosalynn, helped build, renovate, and repair more than 4,000 homes as ambassadors for Habitat for Humanity.
