John William "Jack" Carter (born July 3, 1947) is an American businessman, politician and environmentalist. He is the eldest child of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter.[1]
In 1985, he was interviewed by David Wallechinsky for his book, Midterm Report: The Class of '65: Chronicles Of An American Generation (1986). It was later published as Class Reunion '65, Tales of an American Generation, written from the perspective of two decades post-high school graduation.[3] Twenty-eight then-contemporary high school graduates were interviewed, with Wallachinsky noting the profound impact of the war on Vietnam on their lives.[3]
Carter's primary issues were his opposition to the Iraq War and his concerns about the healthcare system, especially what he characterized as its failure to meet its commitment to veterans.
Personal life
In 1971, Carter married Judy Langford, daughter of former Georgia state senator James Beverly Langford. They had one son, Jason Carter, and one daughter, Sarah Carter. The couple divorced in 1989.[7]
In 1992, Carter married Elizabeth Sawyer Brasfield and is stepfather of two from her first marriage: John Chuldenko, a filmmaker who directed television ads for Carter's Senate campaign, and Sarah Chuldenko, a book illustrator (for Jimmy Carter's poetry volume) and painter who has worked with Jeff Koons.[8] She is married to Australian artist Stephen Reynolds.[9]
