Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a Republican elected in 2025 to represent Wisconsin’s 99th House district, shared several updates on her official Twitter account regarding legislative activities and new initiatives in the state assembly.

On October 6, 2025, Dittrich announced the start of a new funding period for an agricultural infrastructure program: "Beginning TODAY, the first round of the 2026-2027 Agricultural Roads Improvement Program (ARIP) solicitation period has officially opened! We worked to get this program off the ground with last session's budget, Act 13. This most recent budget, we funded the program with $150M."

The following day, she invited constituents to participate in legislative proceedings: "Your Wisconsin State Assembly is on the floor today at 1 pm. You can join us LIVE at https://t.co/CTnFUw5Thg." (posted October 7, 2025).

Later that same day, Dittrich highlighted bipartisan support for an awareness resolution: "I was happy that my AJR95 observing Domestic Violence Awareness Month was taken up on the floor of the Assembly today with unanimous bipartisan support. Special thanks to Rep. Taylor for handing out purple ribbons to colleagues and reading her powerful poem, 'I Got Flowers'" (posted October 7, 2025).

Dittrich replaced former state representative Cindi Duchow after winning election in November 2025. The Agricultural Roads Improvement Program referenced by Dittrich is part of Act 13 and received $150 million in funding from the latest state budget cycle.
