Rick Allen’s party controls the White House, House and Senate. His excuse for high prices? Someone’s trying to make Republicans look bad. Rick, you’ve got that covered. Your party has had the power this whole time. If you’re still waiting for someone else to do your job, I’m available.

Good Sunday! Progress isn’t always a giant leap. Sometimes it’s one more step. Don’t overlook how far you’ve come or let yesterday distract you from what God has placed in front of you today. Keep the faith, protect your joy and keep pressing. There is grace for the race.

Rick Allen voted for Medicaid cuts. I’m running to lower costs and keep care close to home. Getting sick is stressful enough without your congressman making it harder to get care. If he won’t fight for your health, he doesn’t deserve another term.

Rick Allen, you want another two years in Washington. Folks here are trying to afford another week of groceries. Diesel prices are squeezing our farmers, truckers and households. I’m running to fight for the people paying those bills. You’ve had your chance. They can’t afford more of the same.

A free press is not a privilege a president gets to revoke. I’ll defend it even when I don’t like the coverage. Rick Allen, do you stand with the First Amendment or with Trump? Your oath should make that an easy question.

218 members of Congress signed to force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act. Rick Allen wasn’t one of them. Combat-injured veterans earned their retirement and disability benefits. They shouldn’t have to plead for either. I would have signed. What’s your excuse, Rick?

Rick Allen, you want another two years on the job. How about finishing the work? You get an early recess. Our bills keep coming. The election is your deadline. The first of the month is ours. You want our votes. You haven’t earned them.

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11 and hold close the families who have carried that grief for 25 years. We remember those who answered the call to serve, and the love and courage that carried people through our darkest hours. May we keep that care for one another alive.

Another promise from Trump. Another check that never comes. Rick Allen, are you backing this latest promise? The people you represent deserve a straight answer. You work for the people, Rick. Start answering to them.

Working people deserve to know where their candidates stand on fair wages, the right to organize, skilled trades, and workplace protections. Rick Allen and I have two very different records. After more than a decade in Congress, his record speaks louder than any campaign promise.

Labor is part of my family history and my own story. I grew up in a union family and later served as an AFGE local president and Georgia State Council president. This Labor Day, I honor the generations of workers who organized for fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity. Happy Labor Day!

Today’s Grace for the Race is simple: Run your race. Don’t get distracted by who’s ahead of you or discouraged by who isn’t walking beside you. Stay focused on your assignment, protect your joy, keep the faith, and keep running. See you next Sunday.

Visited a cattle farm in Tattnall County today to hear directly from the people doing this work every day. Rising costs and unpredictable markets are squeezing family farms. The next Farm Bill must protect our farmers and strengthen rural Georgia. Their voices will be heard in Washington.

Ceretta for Georgia @cerettaforgeorgia.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
You do not solve hunger by taking food away. You do not help GA-12 by pushing more families toward food banks that are already stretched thin. Rick Allen chose tax cuts over full plates. I will choose the people of this district. [2/2]

One in six Georgians, including one in five children, is facing hunger. Rick Allen voted for the law that cuts SNAP by nearly $187 billion over the next decade. Now SNAP enrollment is falling faster than expected, even though the need has not disappeared. [1/2]

When Georgia farmers need him to stand up to his own party, he disappears. Our farmers deserve a representative who answers to them, not Donald Trump. [2/2]

Rick Allen has had more than a decade in Congress. His votes make it clear who he serves, and it isn’t the people of GA-12. While families struggle and rural hospitals fight to stay open, Allen keeps choosing his party over the people he represents. Accountability is coming in November.

For 25 years, I’ve fought alongside workers for fair pay, dependable benefits, safe conditions, and the freedom to organize. Rick Allen has had more than a decade in Congress. Why are workers across GA12 still being told to settle for less? Economic growth should respect the people doing the work.

Ceretta for Georgia @cerettaforgeorgia.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
After more than 11 years in Congress, Rick Allen has put billionaires, big business, and Donald Trump ahead of GA-12. Higher costs, unaffordable healthcare, threatened benefits, and weakened public schools are his record. See the full report: magareportcards.com/allen

With children back in school, we owe them safe classrooms, fair funding, respected educators, and real opportunities. Rick Allen has been in Congress for more than a decade. Why are schools across GA-12 still fighting for the basics? Every child deserves a great education.

Families facing Alzheimer’s deserve more than sympathy. They deserve hope, support, and leaders who will fight for research, better treatments, caregiver resources, and one day, a cure. To every person and caregiver walking this journey: I see you, and I will fight alongside you.

Finding Solutions: Augusta nonprofit seeks donations to expand laundry services for homeless
A local nonprofit is converting a donated box truck into a mobile laundry facility for Augusta’s homeless population and is asking the community for help to fund the project.

Ceretta for Georgia @cerettaforgeorgia.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
A mobile laundry truck will help Augusta’s unhoused neighbors. That’s service in action. But charity can’t solve a housing crisis. Congress must invest in affordable housing.

Trump denied military families are worried, then said the deployment hasn’t lasted “nearly long enough.” That’s easy to say when the sacrifice is always someone else’s. Service members and their families deserve answers, respect, and leaders who understand the weight they carry.

Georgia is approving data centers without knowing how much power or water they will use. Proposed projects could demand up to 58 gigawatts while Georgia Power is authorized to build just 14. GA-12 families should not pay the price for secret deals. We need transparency first.

Our Sailors signed up to serve, not to be pushed past the breaking point. After 250 straight days at sea, families report suicide attempts aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Their suffering is not “fake news.” End this deployment. Bring them home and get every Sailor and Marine the care they need.

Warnock, Ossoff challenge plan to reduce care at Fort Gordon hospital
If the Pentagon gets its way, Fort Gordon will lose its inpatient beds and its emergency room.

Ceretta for Georgia @cerettaforgeorgia.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Fort Gordon is central to our community. I will not stand by while Eisenhower Army Medical Center is downgraded and servicemembers, military families and veterans lose access to care. Rick Allen, this is your district. Why aren’t you fighting with everything you have to stop it?

VA nurses asked Rick Allen to defend safe staffing and their right to advocate for patients. When Congress voted to restore those rights, 20 Republicans joined Democrats. Allen voted NO. Many VA workers are veterans. You don’t support vets by silencing those who care for them. I’ll fight for both.
000
Ceretta for Georgia @cerettaforgeorgia.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Federal workers at the VA, many of whom are veterans themselves, should not have to fight their own government for a voice on the job. This victory belongs to AFGE. In Congress, I’ll defend their union rights, protect their jobs and stand with those who care for our veterans.

Home-based care gives disabled Georgians dignity, independence, and the freedom to live in their communities. A new Trump DOJ memo puts those services at risk while 8,000 Georgians already wait for Medicaid waivers. Rick Allen, will you defend GA-12 families, or is loyalty to Trump more important?

Trump administration plan to roll back Head Start regulations could impact over 350 Georgia centers

Strong schools begin before kindergarten. Weakening Head Start standards for class sizes, safety and disability access puts more than 23,000 Georgia children at risk. I’ll protect fair funding, support educators and strengthen the wraparound services families rely on.
