🕊️ On President Jimmy Carter's National Day of Mourning, we remember a statesman whose dedication to public service and humanitarian causes left an indelible mark on the world. We're proud to share our small connection to his legacy in our Dupont Circle office: a reminder both that D.C. is a small town, and that great political careers start with hard work in humble spaces.
