FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – Monday night marked the Allen County Republican Party's Reagan Bean Dinner at the Grand Wayne Center. Area republicans and elected officials were in attendance to support the party. The event featured former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who served as the keynote speaker.

In his speech, Gingrich showed his support of Congressman Marlin Stutzman, and discussed the GOP potentially taking back the White House in 2016. He says, in order to be successful, the republican frontrunner needs to run on their plans for the country, not what they believe the White House currently does wrong.
