Ceretta for Georgia

We covered a lot of ground this past week! Thank you to everyone who talked with us and put in the work to keep this campaign moving. You deserve a representative who works just as hard for you after Election Day. That’s my commitment. Let’s take this energy to the polls!!

Souls to the Polls today in Screven and Richmond counties! Screven: 10 AM–4 PM, County Courthouse. Richmond: 8:30 AM–6 PM, Linda W. Beazley Community Room. Thank you to everyone helping our neighbors vote. Bring a friend! I’m asking for your vote and the chance to serve you.

Serving in Congress means putting the people you were elected to represent ahead of politics. When I swear an oath to the Constitution, I honor it. I’ll work for the people I represent and stand up for what’s right, even if I have to stand alone.

A congressional seat isn’t a lifetime appointment. If the job isn’t getting done, it’s time to hire someone else. I’m asking for your vote. Vote early through Oct. 30, bring a friend, and help me win this race. Find where to vote: mvp.sos.ga.gov

JD Vance says don’t vote for the people who created the problem. That’s a heck of an argument against Rick Allen. Rick, you don’t get to help create this mess, hand Georgia families the bill, and ask for another term. You’re the problem I’m running to fix.

Rick Allen backed Trump’s war. Now we’re paying more at the pump, and Trump’s answer is a diesel deal with Putin. Our troops take the risk. We pay the bills. Russia gets a payday. Rick, explain how any of that puts America first.

MTG out here saying the quiet part out loud... I approve this message.

Well, COVID wasn’t on my campaign calendar. I’m taking some time to rest and recover. I hate missing time with folks across the 12th District, but I don’t want to get anyone else sick. Thank you for your patience and support. I’ll keep you posted!

Vote Ceretta Smith for GA-12‼️

Thank you, March On PAC!!

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.

Thank you!!

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.

Augusta, come hungry! Join me Thursday, Sept. 24, for our Fish, Faith and Freedom Fish Fry! Noon to 7 p.m. 1857 Central Ave. $30 per plate. Tickets at the door or scan the flyer’s QR code. Bring a friend and come early. When the fish is gone, it’s gone!

It’s time to start making your plans to Early Vote. We can’t afford to sit this election out. #cerettaforgeorgia #GA12 #earlyvoting

Good Sunday! Don’t get so focused on the destination that you forget to find joy in the journey. Celebrate the small victories. Remember why you started. Keep the faith, protect your joy, and keep running your race. There is grace for the race.

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.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good.” Some Sundays, the encouragement you’re giving is the encouragement you need yourself. Today is one of those Sundays. Keep the faith. Protect your joy. Keep running your race. There is grace for the race.

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.

Good food. Good company. A campaign powered by people. Join us Thursday, September 24, from noon to 7 PM for our Fish, Faith and Freedom Fish Fry. Plates are $30 and available at the door or in advance. We’ll be frying until the fish runs out!

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.

I don’t take corporate PAC money because access to your elected officials should never be for sale. This campaign answers to everyday people, and our secret weapon is you. Help us show the establishment what people power can do: secure.actblue.com/donate/ceret...

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.

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.

Great day canvassing. Thanks to every volunteer that came out today. Ground Game Georgia let’s go ‼️#cerettaforgeorgia #ga12 #laborcandidate #veterancandidate #baccandidate

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.

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.

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.
