Professor Gerald Gamm, PhD
Steering the Senate: The Emergence of Party Organization and Leadership 1789–2024
(with Steven S. Smith)

Drawing on the history of the Senate, from 1789 to 2024, the co-authors identify, for the first time ever, the origins of the Senate party caucus, steering committees, and floor leadership. This book is unparalleled in detailing how the position of floor leader was invented in 1890, then strengthened through the 20th and 21st centuries.
