Senator Fischer was first elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2012, becoming the first Nebraska woman elected to a full term and the first Nebraska state senator elected directly after service in the state legislature. She was reelected for a second term in 2018, and in November 2024, Nebraskans voted to send her back to the Senate for a third term. During the 119th Congress, she serves as deputy whip under Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), working to present the concerns of Nebraskans directly to Republican Senate leadership. She also serves on six important Senate committees: Armed Services, Appropriations, Commerce, Agriculture, Rules, and Ethics.</p><p>Senator Fischer believes the first duty of Congress is to defend the nation. As a&nbsp;senior&nbsp;member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, she is committed to defending against growing threats to our homeland and our allies. She serves as Chair of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, which focuses on America’s nuclear triad and associated delivery systems, the emergence of space as a warfighting domain, and defending the nation against increasingly sophisticated missile threats. The subcommittee directly oversees two unified combatant commands: U.S. Strategic Command, headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, and U.S. Space Command.</p><h3 id="historical-recap-1876-1926-the-telephone-and-the-telegraph"><em>Historical Recap: 1876-1926: The Telephone and the Telegraph</em></h3><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/29/97/29976d9d-89ea-4c77-8c0b-0e8a0eafed35/content/images/2026/09/gray-circular-frame--1--1.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="320" height="320"></figure><p><strong>Claude Fischer</strong> is Distinguished Professor of the Graduate School in Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley.
