Nebraska Breakfast

 Are you planning to visit Washington, D.C.?  Come to the Nebraska Breakfast! WHAT IS THE NEBRASKA BREAKFAST?

In 1943, U.S. Senator Hugh Butler initiated a weekly informal meeting of the Nebraska delegation to discuss legislation. Members of the delegation began inviting guests, and soon a tradition was born: the Wednesday morning Nebraska Breakfast.

The Nebraska Breakfast is the oldest ongoing gathering of its kind on Capitol Hill. All Nebraskans visiting Washington D.C. and their guests are invited to attend and visit with their Congressional delegation. Each Member takes turns hosting the breakfast each year, with Senator Pete Ricketts hosting in 2024.

Nebraskans attending the breakfast should RSVP by please calling Senator Ricketts’ Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-4224 or emailing Baylor_McCullough@ricketts.senate.gov. The deadline to RSVP for each breakfast is 5pm ET/4pm CT the Monday prior to the date you wish to attend. For more information about the Nebraska Breakfast or to inquire about availability if you have missed the RSVP deadline, please call Senator Ricketts’ Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-4224
