Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a public figure known for her active engagement on social media, recently shared a series of tweets addressing various topics ranging from personal reflections to legislative efforts and public safety advice.

On May 18, Rep. Dittrich expressed her thoughts regarding former President Biden's health challenges. She tweeted: "May God grant former President Biden and his family discernment as they make decisions on his treatment and endurance for the journey. What an awful battle to face at 82 years old." This message reflects her concern for the former president as he navigates health-related decisions in his advanced age.

The following day, May 19, she addressed the importance of child protection legislation. In her tweet, she stated: "I'm sorry to start your Monday on such a dour note, but stories like this are what motivate me to co-author and vote for bills like Erin's Law (AB 156) that require age-appropriate child sexual assault prevention education and AB 233 that fund grants to child advocacy centers." Her comments highlight her commitment to advancing legislative measures aimed at preventing child sexual assault and supporting advocacy centers through funding.

Later that same day, Rep. Dittrich turned her attention to public safety ahead of Memorial Day weekend. She advised: "Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? Be patient in your travels and stay safe!" This reminder underscores the importance of cautious travel during holiday periods when roads can be particularly busy.

Additional information for Step 3: Erin's Law is named after Erin Merryn, a survivor of child sexual abuse who advocates for legislation requiring schools to implement prevention-oriented child sexual abuse programs.
