Rep. Barbara Dittrich, an active member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, shared insights on her recent engagements through a series of tweets on June 3, 2025. The tweets covered her involvement in community initiatives and legislative activities focused on youth wellbeing, healthcare, and education.
On June 3, Rep. Dittrich expressed her honor in being interviewed by a youth leader from the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation. The interview was part of efforts to develop a Youth Wellbeing Action Plan for Dodge and Jefferson Counties. She conveyed her enthusiasm about engaging with young individuals in this initiative. "Yesterday, I had the great honor of being interviewed by a youth leader with the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation who is working on a Youth Wellbeing Action Plan for Dodge and Jefferson Counties."
Later that day, she acknowledged meeting with emergency physicians during Doctors Day at the Capitol. The discussions centered around patient safety and ensuring quality care in Wisconsin's emergency rooms. "I appreciated visiting with these emergency physicians who stopped by during Doctors Day at the Capitol today."
In another post on the same day, Rep. Dittrich highlighted her role as co-author of Assembly Bill 2 alongside Rep Kitchens. This bill aims to restrict student use of smartphones in schools—a measure intended to address students' mental health concerns. She noted that while it passed in the Assembly earlier this year, she remains hopeful for its passage in the Senate and eventual approval by the governor."I was proud to be a co-author of @RepKitchens bill, AB 2, which would limit student use of smart phones in schools."
