Before he became the Commander-in-Chief, Carter served as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 and in the Georgia State Senate from 1963 to 1967.

Why Are You Not Getting Mail Delivered on January 9th?

Since President Biden declared January 9th as a National Day of Mourning, The Postal Service announced that they will suspend regular mail delivery, retail services, and office activity on January 9th. "There will be limited package delivery service on that day to ensure the organization does not experience any negative impacts to its package delivery operations."

Regular activities and service will resume on Friday.
