Summary

The 1994 Mid-Term elections, the "Republican revolution" that returned control of both Houses of Congress to the Republicans for the first time in over 40 years, was set in motion by the remarkable "Contract With America." Crafted by Speaker Newt Gingrich and a core of Republican lawmakers and aspirants, the Contract became the blueprint for the most ambitious legislative agenda in modern history.
