Newt Gingrich, Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999, will speak at Ripon College on Wednesday, March 11.

The appearance will begin at 4:30 p.m. in Great Hall and is hosted by the Center for Politics and the People.

A question-and-answer session will follow the talk. Although this is a free event, there is high interest and those want to attend should arrive early to obtain seating.

Gingrich is a contributor to CNN. From May 2011 to May 2012, he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, winning the South Carolina and the Georgia primaries.
