A Washington Outsider is a candidate who has not served in Congress or has connections to special interest groups or lobbyists who seek to influence public policy in Washington. The term is regularly used in politics to symbolize a candidate's desire to bring change to Washington. This is why former House Leader Newt Gingrich feels comfortable identifying himself as a Washington Outsider although it does not fit the strict sense of the definition.
