Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“This book fills an important void in our understanding of how the party leadership structure in the U.S. House has steadily changed since the 1970s and is a must-read for anyone interested in how House leadership organizations have assisted the parties in fulfilling their electoral and political goals.” —Jamie Carson, University of Georgia

“Meinke has collected a ton of data. But what he has done with that data is even more impressive. His thorough examination of members’ lives through the lens of House leadership organizations says a lot about them and the institution in which they work. His impressive study gives us a more nuanced view not only of how the House has worked in the past, but more importantly, how it is likely to work in the future as the role of parties strengthens.”—Sean M. Theriault, University of Texas at Austin
