Republican Representative Jack Bergman has successfully secured reelection for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan, as announced on Wednesday. Having first taken office in 2016, Bergman serves a constituency that encompasses the entirety of the Upper Peninsula and a significant portion of northern Michigan, which includes prominent areas such as Traverse City.

Before entering politics, Bergman had a distinguished career as a lieutenant general in the Marine Corps. Currently, he holds positions on several key committees, including Armed Services, Veterans Affairs, and Budget, reflecting his ongoing commitment to military and veteran issues. Notably, he was one of the Republican figures who endorsed a Texas-led initiative aimed at persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

In the recent election, Bergman faced off against Democratic challenger Callie Barr, and ultimately emerged victorious. The announcement of his win was made by news sources at approximately 12:10 a.m. EST, confirming his continued presence in the House of Representatives.
