Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Michigan's 1st Congressional District is the second-largest district east of the Mississippi River by area, encompassing the entire Upper Peninsula and 20 counties of Northern Michigan's Lower Peninsula. It is overwhelmingly White (89.9%), rural, and car-dependent (75.2% drive alone to work). The median age is 47.4 — a full 9 years older than the national average — with 17% of residents aged 70 or older. Median household income is $64,546 with a poverty rate of 7.7%. Homeownership is exceptionally high at 80.9%, and 28.3% hold a bachelor's degree. The district is a Republican stronghold (Cook PVI R+22). Key industries include tourism, timber, mining, manufacturing, and health care. The district hosts military installations and a large veteran population. Bergman has held the seat since 2017 and was re-elected with 60% of the vote in 2024.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R.3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling suspension with SNAP work requirements and discretionary spending caps)) on 2023-05-31: Bergman called the deal 'more conservative wins than any debt ceiling measure presented since I've come to Congress' and a 'good deal for conservatives.' He joined 217 Republicans supporting the bill while 71 Republicans voted against it as insufficiently conservative. The bill's SNAP work requirements and spending caps, however, affected his district's low-income and elderly populations.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 3746
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R.29 (Laken Riley Act (requiring mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with certain crimes)) on 2025-01-07: Bergman co-sponsored related legislation (the VOICE Act) and issued a press release celebrating the bill's passage, calling it 'the 119th Congress' first step to help ensure these crimes committed by illegals never happen again.' He voted with all 217 Republicans. His district is 89.9% White with only 2.4% Hispanic population and 0.6% public transit usage — immigration enforcement carries low direct constituency cost while reinforcing his border-security brand.
Date: 2025-01-07 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 29 / S. 5
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R.1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (extending 2017 tax cuts, restructuring Medicaid and SNAP, border security, energy provisions)) on 2025-07-03: Bergman claimed the bill would 'strengthen Medicaid' and 'cut costs for families' for his constituents. However, independent analyses projected the bill would enact 'devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other important social safety programs,' per the AFL-CIO. His district has a 7.7% poverty rate and a median age of 47.4, with 17% of residents aged 70+. Protesters at his events condemned the cuts. The bill passed 218-214.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R.8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (providing $26.4 billion in military and security assistance to Israel)) on 2024-04-20: Bergman voted with the overwhelming 366-58 majority for Israel aid. His pro-Israel stance aligns with his donor Elliott Broidy, a major GOP fundraiser known for philanthropic work combating antisemitism, who gave $289,100. The bill's defense contractor beneficiaries (RTX, Boeing) are Bergman donors. Bergman visited Israel for meetings 'eight or nine years ago,' per his own account, and has consistently supported Israel aid.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R.8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (providing $60.8 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine)) on 2024-04-20: Bergman voted against the Ukraine aid package while 101 Republicans supported it, placing him in the isolationist wing of the GOP. His vote contradicted his February 2024 statement to The Alpena News that he supported Ukraine funding. Local editorial boards sharply criticized the vote, noting the district includes families of Ukrainian ancestry.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R.8035
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.Con.Res.38 (War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran) on 2026-03-05: Bergman voted with 217 Republicans against the resolution, which failed 212-219. His top campaign donors include defense contractors RTX ($15,000) and Boeing ($12,000) that supply weapons used in Middle East operations. Only 2 Republicans supported the resolution to constrain Trump's Iran operations. Bergman also voted to pass H.Res. 1099, a resolution affirming Iran 'remains the largest state sponsor of terrorism,' the same day.

✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On April 20, 2024, Bergman voted against H.R. 8035, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which provided $60.8 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. He was one of 112 House Republicans who opposed the bill.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R.8035
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] In February 2024, during a visit to Alpena, Bergman publicly stated he supported U.S. aid to Ukraine: 'I support any country, especially Ukraine, that is being attacked by Russia…I support fundings.' He said preventing Putin from overtaking Ukraine 'makes it less likely he ups his ambitions to invade Poland.'
✓ verified Primary Source Bergman owns 200 shares of AirBoss of America Corp (TSX:BOS), acquired August 20, 2025, valued at approximately $970. Quiver Quantitative estimates his net worth at approximately $1.0 million as of January 2026.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In the 2023-2024 cycle, Bergman raised $1,828,501 and spent $233,094 per vote, according to local media analysis. The Nutritional & Dietary Supplements industry contributed $32,800, making him the second-largest House recipient from that sector.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Bergman's top campaign committee donors for the 2025-2026 cycle included RTX Corporation PAC ($15,000), Boeing Company PAC ($12,000), General Atomics PAC ($15,000), and the Bergman Victory Committee joint fundraising effort, which raised $593,220.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In 2024, Bergman received a $289,100 contribution from California couple Elliott Broidy and Robin Rosensweig — one of the largest individual donations to a Michigan congressional candidate that year. Broidy pleaded guilty in 2020 to a federal charge related to foreign lobbying, was pardoned by President Trump, and Bergman previously supported that pardon in a letter to the White House.
✓ verified Primary Source Bergman's campaign committee raised $1,006,220.69 in total receipts during the 2025 calendar year, with $285,095.57 from individual contributions and $396,425.00 from other committee (PAC) contributions.
