Accountability and oversight are paramount as we work to ensure every dollar spent on defense is maximized to best protect our Nation and our allies. As with all Committee assignments, Rep. Bergman will seek to utilize his role on the House Armed Services Committee to represent the needs of Michigan’s First District.
