Hey Jack Bergman, what do we get for our money?

 Representative Bergman, 

From public records, your salary is $174000, paid for by Michigan taxpayer dollars. What exactly do we get for our money? You haven't had a town hall since 2017 and apparently "don't like drama." 

You don't like drama? Your party is creating chaos and drama never before seen in this country.  

You don't like drama? And you vote to cut jobs and resources in Congressional District 1.  What kind of drama do you think that creates? 

You don't like drama? Our residents in Iosco County may lose their financial and medical support and potentially their homes because you are voting for tax cuts for the rich.  

You apparently don't like snow either. I found this from your retirement notice:   

Closing out a 40-year career as a military aviator -- eight of them in New Orleans -- Bergman on Saturday handed command of Marine Forces Reserve to Lt. Gen. John Kelly, a father of two Marines who has served three tours in Iraq, including a stint overseeing coalition forces in Anbar province that ended in early 2008.

On Monday, Bergman said he and his wife, Cindy, know that most of their days in retirement will be spent in Louisiana. They have a home in St. Francisville, far south of their native states of Minnesota and Iowa.

"We quite honestly fell in love with New Orleans and Louisiana, " Bergman said. "Pure and simple. It's not any more complicated than that. We feel this is a community and a state that we want to be part of. And it doesn't hurt that we don't get 10 feet of snow here in the winter."

Do us a favor, Representative Bergman. Let us hire someone who actually cares about the wellbeing of her constituents, votes to keep jobs here, votes to support and aid veterans, votes to feed the hungry, clothe those in need and provide medical insurance, and lastly, votes to hold felons accountable (you know, those peaceful January 6th tourist felons). 

Please go back to Louisiana so we may have someone who loves 10 feet of snow, will show up for town halls and meetings, and actually vote in the best interests of the residents in Congressional District 1.
