FRANKFORT, Ky.- Governor Andy Beshear has ordered that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff immediately and to stay at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday, December 30, at the age of 100.

Beshear. “Let us all learn from him and honor his memory by leading with love. Britainy and I are praying for the entire Carter family and our country as we mourn the loss of this American hero.”
