Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, posted several updates on her social media account in mid-July 2025 addressing topics related to insurance regulation and law enforcement efforts in the state.

On July 18, 2025, Dittrich expressed appreciation for the work of Wisconsin’s Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI). She stated, "I can't state enough how closely my office works with our @wisconsinoci, who is doing a stellar job. Together, we work to make Wisconsin's insurance markets stable and consumers appropriately protected in their insurance contracts. We have much to be grateful for in our state!"

Later that same day, Dittrich commented on developments related to a criminal case involving an individual named Al. She wrote, "THANK GOD! This certainly won't bring Al back, but I pray that justice will now be served. Grateful for the outstanding work of community and law enforcement working to apprehend this suspect."

On July 19, 2025, Dittrich shared her participation in a policy panel focused on long-term care insurance: "Started out Saturday morning bright and early with an @NCOILorg panel on long-term care insurance. With a huge portion of our population in the over-60 category, this is a critical topic for states."

The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) regulates insurance companies and agents within Wisconsin to ensure fair treatment for consumers and stability within the industry ([Wisconsin OCI Overview](https://oci.wi.gov/Pages/AboutOCI/AboutOCI.aspx)). Long-term care insurance has become increasingly important as Wisconsin’s demographic shifts toward an older population; discussions at organizations like NCOIL—the National Council of Insurance Legislators—often focus on challenges faced by states due to these trends ([NCOIL Long-Term Care Initiatives](https://ncoil.org)).

Dittrich’s posts highlight both her ongoing collaboration with regulatory agencies and her engagement with national conversations about aging populations and insurance market stability.
