Preferred term

Newt Gingrich  

Definition

  • Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House of Representatives (1995–1999), is known for his leadership of GOPAC (a Republican Party training organization), the development of the “Contract with America,” and the 1994 “Republican Revolution.” In seeking to erode confidence in the Democrats while concurrently developing a set of Republican ideas and programs, Gingrich's congressional leadership began with the Conservative Opportunity Society (COS) House caucus. Notably, the COS took advantage of C-SPAN's congressional floor coverage so as to preach a blisteringly conservative message to more than 17 million American viewers.
