During the Congressional campaigns in 1994, what did Newt Gingrich and Republican House candidates pledge to pass?

  1. Health care reform

  2. A Contract with America

  3. Increased funding for education

  4. New civil rights measures

The correct answer is: A Contract with America

Newt Gingrich and Republican House candidates in 1994 famously pledged to pass "A Contract with America," a document outlining their legislative agenda and commitments if they gained control of Congress. This initiative was a strategic campaign tool that outlined a series of policy proposals aimed at addressing various issues such as tax reform, welfare reform, and government accountability. The Contract was instrumental in the Republican Party's significant successes in the midterm elections, as it resonated with voters looking for change and clarity on candidates' intentions. By framing their campaign around this contract, Gingrich and his colleagues effectively communicated their priorities and strategies, helping to mobilize support across the country.
