The 2020 Election
In November, U.S. Representative Jack Bergman (R-Watersmeet) was re-elected to a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives with over 60 percent of the vote. But he couldn’t break a tie on the Grand Traverse County Commission in February for a non-binding resolution.
It would have praised Rep. Bergman but failed by a 3-3 vote. Constituents like Richard Walter called in to ask the lawmaker to resign.
“[Bergman] should not be praised and should not be honored by a frivolous resolution that does nothing to help this community,” he said.
A few of Bergman s supporters called in to repeat baseless or debunked claims of voter fraud, including Heather Cerone, who ran for a state house seat last year.
Rep. Bergman was direct when asked if he had any regrets.
“The short answer is no,” he said.
And the long answer?
