After graduating from college, Bergman was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1969 under the Platoon Leaders Course program for aviation (PLC-Air) and entered active duty. Following completion of The Basic School (TBS) at MCB Quantico, Virginia and flight training at NAS Pensacola and NAS Whiting Field, Florida, he was designated as a Naval Aviator.

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. Later assigned shore duty as a flight instructor, he flew the T-28 with Training Squadron Six (VT-6) at NAS Whiting Field, Florida. He left active duty in 1975 and flew UH-1 helicopters with the Rhode Island Army National Guard, at the former NAS Quonset Point in Quonset Point, Rhode Island.

After a 1978 civilian employment transfer to Chicago, Bergman transferred from the Rhode Island Army National Guard back to the Marine Corps Reserve, where he served in several 4th Marine Aircraft Wing units at NAS Glenview, Illinois: HML-776, flying the UH-1; VMGR-234, flying the KC-130; and Mobilization Training Unit IL-1. 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. From 1992 to 1994 he commanded Mobilization Station, Chicago.

In 1995, he was a special staff officer at Marine Corps Reserve Support Command at Overland Park, Kansas. In 1996, he became chief of staff/deputy commander of I Marine Expeditionary Force Augmentation Command Element, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. In 1997, he transferred to the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing Headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana to serve as assistant chief of staff/G-1. Promoted to Brigadier General, he became deputy commanding general of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing.

Transferred in June 1998 to Headquarters, Marine Forces Europe, Stuttgart, Germany, Bergman served as deputy commander. Recalled to active duty from April to July 1999, he was dual-hatted as EUCOM, Deputy J-3A. He then commanded II Marine Expeditionary Force Augmentation Command Element, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, until assuming command of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, New Orleans, Louisiana in August 2000.

In September 2002, Bergman assumed command of the 4th Force Service Support Group, New Orleans, Louisiana. He also served as chairman of the Secretary of the Navy's Marine Corps Reserve Policy Board from 2001 to 2003. Returning to active duty in October 2003, he served as director of Reserve Affairs, Quantico, Virginia. He began his final assignment, command of the Marine Forces Reserve/Marine Forces North, on June 10, 2005. He relinquished that command in October 2009 and retired from active duty in December of that year.

U.S. House of Representatives

2016 election

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan, 2016

Bergman won the Republican primary in Michigan's 1st congressional district in August 2016. He defeated Democratic nominee Lon Johnson and Libertarian nominee Diane Bostow in the November general election. Bergman, who was elected to succeed retiring Republican Representative Dan Benishek, won 55% of the vote to Johnson's 40% and Bostow's 4%.

The district covers all of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula.

Tenure

Bergman assumed office on January 3, 2017. He is a member of the Republican Study Committee, the Climate Solutions Caucus and the U.S.–Japan Caucus.

In June 2017, Bergman was one of the Republican congressmen who were practicing on an Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field for the annual Congressional Baseball Game when James Hodgkinson began shooting at them, harming four people, including Representative Steve Scalise. Afterward, Bergman blamed the incident on anti-GOP rhetoric and the media.

As of January 2022, Bergman has voted with President Joe Biden's stated position roughly 6% of the time.

In October 2023, Bergman unsuccessfully ran for Speaker of the House

Political positions

Spending and budget

In March 2016, Bergman said that cutting spending would be his top priority in Congress.

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.

In March 2021, all House Republicans including Bergman voted against the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, an economic stimulus bill aimed at speeding up the United States' recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing recession.

Healthcare

Bergman opposes the Affordable Care Act and voted to repeal it in May 2017.

Environment

In September 2017, Bergman became the 29th Republican to join the Climate Solutions Caucus.

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.

Marriage

Bergman voted against the "Respect for Marriage Act" codifying Loving v. Virginia and Obergefell v. Hodges, recognizing marriages across state lines regardless of "sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of those individuals."

Military

In August 2017, Bergman sided with then-President Donald Trump on barring transgender individuals from the military.

2020 presidential election

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

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 Trump.

In January 2021, Bergman announced his intention to object to the certification of the Electoral College results.
