Republicans Working on New ‘Contract with America’

August 29, 2022 · 2:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Senior House Republicans are putting together a list of policy pledges to run on in the 2022 elections, and they are consulting with the architect of one of their biggest historical midterm victories,” the Washington Post reports.

“Newt Gingrich, whose ‘Contract with America’ in 1994 is linked with the GOP takeover of Congress in that midterm cycle, said he has been advising House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on a set of policy items for Republicans to take to voters ahead of the November elections. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and other members of House Republican leadership are also involved in the project, which is not expected to launch until the spring or summer.”
