Edward Lebbaeus Breeden Jr. (January 28, 1905 – June 1, 1990) was an American lawyer and politician who served for many decades as a member of the Virginia General Assembly, first in the House of Delegates and later in the Senate.[1] In 1970, he became the first formal majority floor leader of the Senate, after a move to reduce the power of the President pro tempore.[2]
