Governor Walz Orders Flags to Fly at Half-Staff in Honor of Former President Jimmy Carter

Governor Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags to fly at half-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota from sunrise on Monday, December 30, until sunset on January 29, 2025, to honor the life and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter.

*“President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world,”* said Governor Walz. *“We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love of his life, Rosalynn.”*

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.

Flags at Half-Staff

"In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff."
