Carl DeMaio hit the ground running after being sworn in Dec. 2nd to the California Assembly. Two weeks ago DeMaio released his 7-Point Plan to Overhaul ‘Broken’ CA Republican Party.

Now, he and Reform California are unveiling a Contract to Reform California — “a 10-point agenda that offers bold proposals to fix the state’s pressing problems.”

In 1994 then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives in 40 years, created his Contract With America.

“Never before had so detailed a document become such an integral part of a congressional election campaign; never had so many innovative ideas been drafted into legislation so quickly; and never in the previous six decades had so much legislation been passed by the House of Representatives in less than 100 days after the newly elected Members of Congress took office,” the Heritage Foundation wrote.

367 candidates for office signed the Contract on September 27, 1994, and publicly pledged: “If we break this Contract, throw us out.” The Republicans who were already Members of the House of Representatives organized themselves into 11 working groups that eventually drafted ten bills that made up the Contract.
