Rick W. Allen, a U.S. Congressman representing Georgia's 12th district since 2015, has shared several updates via his social media account. The tweets reflect on recent legislative changes, the importance of agriculture in his district, and educational initiatives.

On March 17, 2025, Allen announced that a significant legislative change had been signed into law. "The Biden Administration's natural gas tax has been eliminated," he stated, acknowledging the efforts of the House GOP and President in restoring U.S. energy dominance. He also expressed gratitude towards Representative Pfluger for leadership in this matter.

The following day, March 18, 2025, Allen celebrated National Agriculture Day by highlighting the agricultural contributions of Georgia's 12th district. In his tweet, he noted that "agriculture is the number one industry in #GA12," recognizing the hard work and dedication of farmers who support both national and global food supplies.

Later on March 18, Allen focused on education by introducing a resolution to designate March as "National March into Literacy Month." He emphasized the importance of early literacy by referencing studies showing that children not reading proficiently by third grade are significantly less likely to graduate high school on time. He mentioned having "the pleasure of reading to..." young students as part of this initiative.
