Rep. Barbara Dittrich, serving in the Wisconsin State Assembly, actively shared her involvement in legislative activities and engagement with advocacy groups through a series of tweets this April. Her remarks reflect her participation and stance on various legislative subjects, including health, public safety, and professional regulations.

On April 23, Dittrich commented on her role as a co-sponsor for Assembly Bill 201. She stated, "While I was in another committee today hearing health-related bills, the Assembly Committee on Criminal Justice & Public Safety held a public hearing on AB 201 related to this very issue. I am a proud co-sponsor of this important legislation. Its passage should be a no-brainer." This statement underscores her support for the legislation discussed in the Committee on Criminal Justice & Public Safety.

The following day, on April 24, Dittrich highlighted her longstanding support for early detection legislation during a visit by the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition. She mentioned, "I have been supportive of the early detection legislation in past sessions and will remain supportive this session. Thank you to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition for stopping by the office on a very busy day yesterday." This shows her continued advocacy for early detection measures in healthcare.

Later that same day, Dittrich expressed enthusiasm about a gathering with district music therapists in Madison. She noted, "It's been a whirlwind week at the Capitol. I was so happy to welcome district music therapists during their day in Madison and get miles closer to introducing legislation that will protect and clean up regulation of their profession in our state." The visit ties into her efforts to advance regulations relating to music therapy as a profession in Wisconsin.
