Madison – Representative Barbara Dittrich (R – Oconomowoc) responded on Tuesday to the vetoes of legislation she authored to protect women, girls, and parental rights:
“Governor Evers likes to say, ‘The will of the people is the law of the land,’ yet with the vetoes of Assembly Bill 100 and 102, he clearly goes against the will of the vast majority of Wisconsinites in regards to the Save Women’s Sports Act. In my district alone, 9 out of 10 constituents responded to my 2025 Spring Survey saying they support the Act’s preservation of girl’s and women’s sports for biological females only. Statewide, over three-quarters of Wisconsinites support this issue, and nationally, it is gaining similar support as well. His veto on the Save Women’s Sports Act is a disgusting and dangerous sign of disrespect to all of the hardworking women and girls of Wisconsin and shows disregard for their achievements.
“I am also deeply disappointed in the veto of Assembly Bill 103. This legislation would have enshrined the recent United States Supreme Court Decision protecting a parent’s right to be directly involved in their child’s education and upbringing. This legislation was always meant to restore the working relationship between parents and schools, but now, Wisconsin schools risk litigation because state statute does not match what has been decided in federal court. Additionally, parents may be in the dark on their children’s mental health without even being notified by the school.”
