Who is Amy Carter?

Amy Carter, the only daughter of former President Jimmy Carter, was born in 1967, in Plains, Georgia.

She moved into the White House at the age of nine, making her one of the youngest children to live there since John F. Kennedy’s children were younger than 5 when he took office.

Is Amy Carter a Republican?

Jimmy Carter was clearly a Democrat, and some wonder about Amy Carter’s political choice. There is no public knowledge of her chosen political party, but she has said to keep her personal and political affiliations relatively private, according to New York Times.

She does advocate for human rights and diplomacy, as a member of the board of counselors for The Carter Center.

It’s easy to confuse Jimmy Carter’s daughter with one-time Georgia House Rep. Amy Carter of Valdosta, though there is no relation to Jimmy Carter. Rep. Amy Carter is a Democrat-turned-Republican who represented the 175th district from 2008 to 2017.

How old is Amy Carter now?

She is 57 years old, and was born on October 19, 1967. She has two children,son Hugo James Wentzel and daughter Errol Carter Kelly.

Is Amy Carter’s husband, Jay Kelly, in a wheelchair?

Amy Carter married John Joseph Kelly in 2007. Amy was pushing Kelly in a wheelchair during ceremonies Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. The family hasn’t commented as to why Kelly is in a wheelchair, as he was not in a wheelchair in November 2023 at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral.

Jimmy Carter grandchildren

In addition to Amy, Jimmy also had three sons: John William “Jack” Carter, James Earl “Chip” Carter III, and Donnel Jeffrey “Jeff” Carter.

With those children, Jimmy had 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren total.
