McLean, VA*

Newt Gingrich (b. June 17, 1943) is a former U.S. Congressman from Georgia who became the first Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives in 40 years in 1994. It was Gingrich's "Contract with America," a sweeping platform of welfare and social reforms that essentially helped give Republicans control of both houses of Congress during the Bill Clinton Administration.  While in office, Gingrich led a series of investigations of the White House, but was himself found guilty of ethics violations and fined $300,000. He ultimately had to step down from office. Gingrich remains active on the speaker circuit and ran a campaign for the presidency on the Republican ticket in 2012. Gingrich still owns this house in McLean, Virginia.
