Leadership is service beyond self, not serving for self

This isn’t just an insult to every hardworking family in our district; it’s a clear sign that Bergman is out of touch with the people he’s supposed to represent.   John, While families in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula work hard to make ends meet, Bergman has used ta…

to add insult to injury

Leadership is service beyond self, not serving for self.   John, While families in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula work hard to make ends meet, Bergman has used taxpayer funds to reimburse himself $44,000 for food and lodging–on top of his $174,000 salary (and multip…

From infrastructure to broadband, MI-01 and other rural communities just like ours have been neglected in favor of culture wars that do more to benefit politicians at the polls than they do their constituents.   John, Upper and Northern Michiganders need critical investments i…
