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.

U.S. Representative Adrian Smith is hosting the 2025 Nebraska Breakfasts. Please RSVP by clicking this link. If you need any additional information or have other questions, contact Rep. Smith’s office at 202-225-6435.
