Georgia US Senators Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock introduced legislation to honor former President Jimmy Carter and the late first lady Rosalynn Carter by renaming the Plains, Ga., Post Office.

The Post Office at 119 Main Street in Plains would be renamed the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office.

The companion bill in the U.S. House Of Representatives, which the Georgia congressional delegation led, had passed the previous day, Dec. 5, 2024.

“Renaming the post office in Plains, Ga., in honor of President Jimmy Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter is a tribute to their lifelong service,” Ossoff said in a statement. “The Carters have left an indelible mark on our nation and the world. A Post Office named in their honor of Plains is a small but fitting tribute to their legacy.”

“Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter led exemplary lives while serving Georgians and our nation and were fiercely committed to uplifting the lives of all Americans,” Warnock said. “Renaming the Plains post office after both of these Georgia icons is a small nod to their triumphant legacy in the Peach State.”
