Hahn Releases Statement After Passing of President Jimmy Carter
San Pedro, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn released the following statement following the passing of President Jimmy Carter at the age of 100:
“Jimmy Carter’s extraordinary public service didn’t end when his presidency did. For decades he has remained an icon of kindness and humility, and a champion of peace.
I was lucky to have had the opportunity to build houses alongside him for low income families in San Pedro with Habitat for Humanity back in 2007 when I was on the Los Angeles City Council.
His legacy will live on for generations to come not only here but around the world. May he rest in peace.”
In 2007, then City Councilwoman Hahn joined President Carter on a project with Habitat for Humanity building 16 homes for low-income families in San Pedro.
