The Contract With America was a statement drafted in 1994 by a number of leading House Republicans, and signed by almost all House Republicans at the time. It was a comprehensive list of promises the Republicans made to the American people, should they be granted a majority in the House of Representatives during the 1994 election. Unlike a number of previous campaign promises, the Contract With America set out very specific promises and goals. It was drafted by Larry Hunter with assistance from Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxton, John Boehner, Jim Nussle, Tom DeLay, and Newt Gingrich. It drew heavily on ideas put forth by the conservative Heritage Foundation, as well as specific points laid out in Ronald Reagan’s 1985 State of the Union Address. The House Republicans presented the contract roughly six weeks before the midterm elections in 1994, during the first Clinton administration. It was a way for Republicans to really unite and run together as a group, across the nation. It worked, without a doubt, and the Republicans captured the House for the first time in four decades. In many ways, the triumph of the Contract With America was seen as a culminating triumph for the modern conservative movement, demonstrating the strength of their bloc.
