Who they are, where they came from

Jack Bergman represents Michigan's 1st congressional district, a seat he has held since January 2017. He is a member of the Republican Party. Before entering Congress, Bergman served as a United States Marine Corps officer, retiring at the rank of lieutenant general. His legislative record reflects continued engagement with veterans' affairs, rural infrastructure, and issues affecting Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula communities. In the 118th Congress, Bergman sponsored the VA Budget Shortfall Accountability Act (HR.1823), which was enacted into law, and secured enactment of legislation designating a Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Indian River, Michigan (HR.3672). He has sponsored the FIND Act across multiple Congresses (HR.53, HR.45), a measure related to federal land management that has drawn substantial cosponsor support. Bergman has also sponsored the HACT Act (HR.2745) and the Veterans STAND Act (HR.6835), each addressing aspects of federal service delivery, as well as the Rural 340B Access Act of 2025 (HR.44), which concerns pharmaceutical pricing programs for rural health providers. On appropriations, Bergman voted against HR.7463 and HR.2872, both continuing resolution measures that became law, casting those votes in opposition to his party's majority position on each occasion. He has introduced legislation on rural broadband access (HR.46), school resource officer funding (HR.3430), foreign state media credentialing in the House press gallery (HRES.458), and land claims affecting the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (HR.411) and the Bay Mills Indian Community (HR.412) in Michigan.
