"Sarah and I join the nation in mourning the passing of President Jimmy Carter. His service - in the White House and as a private citizen dedicated to his country - exemplified what it means to lead with integrity, compassion, and humility. He changed lives around the world, and his dedication to peace and human dignity will be remembered by his country. My prayers are with his family as they mourn."

In honor of his life and legacy, all flags on state property will be flown at half-staff until tomorrow evening.

The executive order is available here.
