Community surveys such as those conducted by Rep. Dittrich are common tools for elected officials to gather feedback from their constituents about policy preferences and community priorities. National Ice Cream Day is observed annually in July and highlights both consumer enjoyment and agricultural contributions, particularly relevant in Wisconsin due to its significant dairy industry.
