Congressman Bergman proudly represents the First District of Michigan and serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Veterans’ Affairs Committee in the 117th Congress. He also currently serves as the lead Republican on the VA Subcommittee on Health.

Prior to taking office in January of 2017, Congressman Bergman was a small business owner in the medical equipment field, a commercial airline pilot for 22 years, and a United States Marine Corps officer.

During the Vietnam War, he flew CH-46 helicopters, and later was assigned as a flight instructor at Whiting Field, Florida. In 2005, Congressman Bergman assumed his final command of Marine Forces Reserve/Marine Forces North in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, and he retired from the Marine Corps in December 2009 at the rank of Lieutenant General. The Congressman is the highest-ranking combat Veteran ever elected to Congress.

He and his wife Cindy have called Watersmeet, Michigan, home since the early 1990’s. They have ten grandchildren and aim to leave the world a better place for them.
Jack is driven by his commitment to serving others. While in the military, he launched two successful startup businesses in the medical equipment field, maintaining an obligation to both his nation and his customers simultaneously. As an entrepreneurial leader focused on mission accomplishment and customer satisfaction, Jack knows how to get things done.

Hard work and commitment made the United States the most exceptional nation in the world. Those are the principles that have guided Jack’s life, and these are the principles that he brings to Washington. He believes what most Michiganders believe: Americans know how to live their lives better than politicians or bureaucrats in Washington do.
