Pro-Gingrich super-PAC registers with FEC

A new super-PAC has been created in support of Republican presidential front-runner Newt Gingrich.

The independent expenditure committee Winning Our Future sent registration paperwork to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, an individual associated with the committee told The Hill. 

"What is so exciting is that more and more Americans are beginning to realize that Newt Gingrich is the right choice and Barack Obama is the wrong choice," committee President Becky Burkett said in the release. “And so, we are proud to be part of an effort to enhance the momentum he has created.”

The creation of the Winning Our Future comes days after a super-PAC for rival Mitt Romney ran an attack ad against the former Speaker. In response, Gingrich claimed that if any super-PAC “in his name” ran negative ads he would encourage his supporters to stop giving the committee money.

Gingrich already has at least one super-PAC backing him. The committee, Solutions 2012, is run out of Denver, Colo.

Winning Our Future’s website highlights Gingrich’s “track record of implementing tax cuts, reining in spending and balancing the budget.”

Burkett will run the newest political action committee out of Atlanta, Ga.

Independent expenditure committees are allowed to accept unlimited contributions, but are not allowed to coordinate with a campaign.
