Retired U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Jack Bergman announced Tuesday that he is officially running for Congress in Michigan.
Bergman said during the Ron Jolly Show that he was pursuing the Republican nomination in northern Michigan’s First Congressional District after securing 2,000 petition signatures to place his name on the August primary ballot.
“I felt it was time for me to step up and put some rudder into this ship known as the United States and put it back on course,” he told the Detroit News Tuesday.
Bergman served as a military aviator, flying as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, and served as the commanding general of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces North. He retired from the service as a three-star lieutenant general.
Bergman also worked as a pilot for Northwest Airlines and runs a medical equipment business.
In February, Bergman told the Detroit News that he intended to run for the seat as a fiscal conservative “who emphasizes education and using the Constitution as the model for developing “good policies and programs that work.”

One squared away individual.
The United States of America needs people like him to run the country!
I served with General Bergman while I was on duty with our Marine Corps. Straight-up guy - combat helo pilot, great leader, and someone I would vote for in a heart-beat...too bad he is not local!
