Question: Which former U.S. House Speaker from Georgia led the “Contract with America” campaign in 1994?
Answer: Newt Gingrich. The Contract with America was a document released by the Republican Party for the 1994 midterm elections, explaining what the party would do if it won the majority in Congress. The provisions of the contract proved so popular with the public that Republicans gained 54 House seats and 9 Senate seats, controlling both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time in 40 years.
