1962年，他進入政壇，8年之后，他選舉成為了喬治亞州州長。他通過重視生態、促進政府實效獲得了外界的諸多注意，他還消除了喬治亞州的種族歧視。卡特還公然反對死刑。1974年，卡特宣布競選總統，這開啟了他兩年的競選之旅。
Carter beat President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 presidential race. As President, he worked hard to combatthe continuing economic woes of inflation and unemployment. He increased jobs by nearly eight million and decreased the budget deficit, measured in percentage of the gross national product. He also dealt with an energy shortage and increased protected national parks by 103 million acres.
在1976年的競選中，卡特打敗了杰拉爾德·魯道夫·福特。作為總統，他努力應對通貨膨脹和失業率。增加了800萬個工作機會，減少了預算赤字，國民生產總值也有所增加。他還處理了能源短缺，增加了一億零三百萬英畝的國家公園土地。
Carter was busy with his foreign policy. He helped bring peace between Egypt and Israel with the 1978 CampDavid agreement, for which he later won the Nobel Prize. He also established full diplomatic relations with China and completed the negotiation of a nuclear limitation treaty with the Soviet Union. However, the Iran hostage crisis in 1980 and high inflation meant he lost the 1980 election.
他還忙于制定外交政策。1978年，他幫助埃及和以色列重返和平軌道，兩國簽署了戴維營協議，因此，他也贏得了諾貝爾和平獎。他還與中國建立了全方面外交，并于蘇聯完成了核武器限制條約的簽署。但是，1980年發生的伊朗人質事件，以及較高的通貨膨脹率讓他沒有在1980年的選舉中再次連任。
