Gillibrand, Marshall Host The 74th National Prayer Breakfast

Feb 5, 2026

Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS) hosted the 74th National Prayer Breakfast this morning at the United States Capitol, continuing a bipartisan tradition that dates back to the Eisenhower administration. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first president to attend the event in 1953.

The National Prayer Breakfast serves as a longstanding opportunity for members of Congress from both parties to come together in fellowship and prayer for the nation, its leaders, and the American people. The gathering emphasizes unity, humility, and faith amid the responsibilities of public service.

"The National Prayer Breakfast is a time-honored tradition that brings together leaders of both political parties in fellowship and prayer," said Senator Gillibrand. "This event reminds us that even when we are separated by policy and politics, we are united by something far deeper. We are united in our faith; faith in God, faith in our country, and faith that we can come together to improve the lives of the American people."

"Moments like this remind us that, despite our political differences, we share a common calling to serve with integrity and compassion," said Senator Marshall. "Praying together for our nation, our leaders, and the people we represent helps refocus our hearts on what truly matters - faith, family, and country."
