U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) has announced he will host his second “Federal Issues Forum” at the Nebraska State Fair on August 29, 2025. The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon Central Time and will be open to the public.

Senator Ricketts said the forum will feature a legislative update and two panel discussions focusing on federal issues affecting Nebraskans. There will also be a moderated question and answer segment during the panels.

“This Federal Issues Forum is an opportunity to discuss the progress we’ve made in delivering results for Nebraskans,” Ricketts said. “We’re protecting families, securing the border, and fostering a stronger economy. I encourage Nebraskans to attend.”

This year’s forum follows Senator Ricketts’ first-ever Federal Issues Forum held last year, which addressed challenges facing Nebraska agriculture.

Members of the media interested in attending are required to RSVP by contacting Ian_Swanson@ricketts.senate.gov for further guidance.
