Buffett studied at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln , where he was co-editor of the Daily Nebraskan newspaper .

In 1942 he was elected as a Republican to Congress , where he represented the state of Nebraska from January 3, 1943 to January 3, 1949 in the United States House of Representatives . In the 1948 elections he failed to defend his seat in the House of Representatives: he was defeated by the Democrat Eugene Daniel O'Sullivan .
