not what MI-01 needs

Bergman’s out-of-touch agenda doesn’t reflect these values. It’s time we get him out of Congress.   John, We’re full steam ahead in these final weeks of the campaign, and we want to let people across our district know: Jack Bergman doesn’t represent the values we care about. …

reeling in the truth about Jack Bergman

This little “mix-up” says a lot about Jack Bergman. He’s out of touch with the “reel” challenges we face in Upper and Northern Michigan.   John, Remember when Jack Bergman posted that picture of a “Great Lakes” fish he supposedly caught, but it turned out to be a redfish from …
