Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff’s legislation to rename the Plains, Georgia, Post Office in honor of former President Jimmy Carter and the late First Lady Rosalynn Carter has passed the U.S. Senate.
Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock introduced the legislation to honor the Carters by renaming the Post Office located at 119 Main Street in Plains, Georgia, as the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Post Office.
The companion bill in the U.S. House of Representatives was introduced by the entire Georgia Congressional delegation, led by Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02).

“Renaming the post office in Plains, Georgia, in honor of President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter is a tribute to their lifelong service,” Sen. Ossoff said. “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,” said Senator Reverend Warnock.“Renaming the Plains post office after both of these Georgia icons is a small nod to their triumphant legacy in the Peach State.”
