A Georgia state senator wants to place a statue of late former President Jimmy Carter at the US Capitol. Sen. Jason Esteves submitted a resolution to the Georgia General Assembly this week to honor Carter.

The proposal aims to replace the existing statue of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, a former vice president of the Confederacy.

A new resolution introduced in the Georgia Senate seeks to honor the late President Jimmy Carter by placing his statue in the National Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol.
