As McDonough Mayor Sandra Vincent recalled the impact of President Jimmy Carter, one of his statements stood out — his concession speech when he lost the 1980 presidential election to Ronald Reagan.
“President Carter profoundly impacted me as a youth, shaping my understanding of servant leadership and integrity,” she wrote in a statement. “I was deeply moved by his 1980 concession speech, where he said ‘I promised you four years ago that I would never lie to you. So I can’t stand here tonight and say it doesn’t hurt. The people of the United States have made the choice, and of course, I accept that decision, but I have to admit, not with the same enthusiasm that I accepted the decision four years ago.’”
