Jack Carter in The Associated Press
On Principles & Values:
Candidacy supported by Sen. Harry Reid
Sen. Harry Reid would support Jack Carter if he runs for the Senate next year and thinks he would have a shot at unseating Republican Sen. John Ensign. Reid, the Senate minority leader, and Carter, the oldest child of former President Jimmy Carter,
spoke by phone earlier this week before Carter announced he’s seriously considering challenging Ensign, who’s seeking a second term in 2006. Carter and his wife, Elizabeth, have lived in Las Vegas since 2003, operating an investment consulting firm.

On Principles & Values:
Social liberal with conservative Southern roots
Carter, son of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, was born in Virginia and raised in Georgia. He was in his late 20s when his father won the presidency and did not live in the White House. Carter, 58, cited unhappiness with the federal government’s handling of
Hurricane Katrina as a reason for considering the race. He describes himself as a social liberal with conservative Southern roots and a business background that taught him fiscal responsibility.
