Nebraska Breakfast

The Nebraska Breakfast, now in its sixth decade, is the oldest and only ongoing state gathering for constituents on Capitol Hill. Every Wednesday morning when the House and Senate are both in session, Nebraskans visiting the nation's capital can meet and visit with their Nebraska Congressional Delegation. The Breakfast is usually held in the Dirksen Senate Office Building South Cafeteria at 8:00 a.m. It is recommended that attendees arrive at 7:30 AM. The breakfast should conclude at 9AM.

Reservations are recommended but not required. Call our office at (202) 224-4224 for reservation information. The cost of the continental breakfast is $6.84 per person.

The Nebraska Breakfast originated in 1943. It was the idea of U.S. Senator Hugh Butler, who wanted to meet informally each week to discuss legislation with other Members of the Nebraska Congressional Delegation. Members of the Nebraska Delegation began inviting guests to the weekly gatherings, and soon a tradition was born. Today, all Nebraskans visiting Washington, D.C., and their guests, are welcome to attend the Nebraska Breakfast.
