John Warren Bergman (born February 2, 1947)[citation needed] is an American politician and retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant general serving as the U.S. representative from Michigan's 1st congressional district since 2017.

[citation needed] After graduating from college, Bergman was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1969[7] under the Platoon Leaders Course program for aviation (PLC-Air) and entered active duty.

He then flew CH-46 helicopters with HMM-261 at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, and with HMM-164 at MCAS Futenma in Okinawa, Japan, and the Republic of Vietnam.

He was selected to stand up the second KC-130 squadron in 4th MAW and in 1988 became the first commanding officer of VMGR-452 at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York.

[citation needed] In 1995, he was a special staff officer at Marine Corps Reserve Support Command at Overland Park, Kansas.

[citation needed] Transferred in June 1998 to Headquarters, Marine Forces Europe, Stuttgart, Germany, Bergman served as deputy commander.

[20] In a July 2016 television interview, Bergman said his three top priorities were to "get Congress working together" instead of being preoccupied with partisan division, to "utilize the Constitution", and to pass a balanced budget amendment.

[24] Bergman voted in favor of the Tribal Coastal Resiliency Act, which would allow the Department of Commerce to award grants to Native American tribes for historical preservation, environmental protection, and climate change mitigation in the Great Lakes.

[28] After Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election[29] and Trump refused to concede, Bergman announced he would oppose the confirmation of the Electoral College's vote in Congress.

[30] In December 2020, Bergman was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Biden defeated[29] Trump.
