Supports fossil-fuel–friendly, market-oriented energy positions and has opposed major Democratic climate legislation while expressing skepticism about large-scale federal climate mandates; has also participated in bipartisan coastal/marine conservation efforts. Voting and public statements indicate opposition to aggressive federal climate regulation and support for energy policies that include fossil fuel development alongside some conservation activities.
Public Safety & Guns
Jack Bergman supports broad Second Amendment rights, has received an A rating and endorsement from the NRA Political Victory Fund, and has backed concealed-carry reciprocity and pro-gun policies. His public voting record and endorsements align with opposing major new federal gun restrictions.
News
Jack Bergman is in the news because he is facing two Republican primary challengers in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. He is also dealing with an ethics complaint and intraparty criticism over endorsements and constituent access. Despite that, he is still described as the favorite, with backing from President Trump and strong fundraising, while Democrats are preparing for the general election.
