www.wlns.com/news/michiga... Jack Bergman means higher costs. Michigan’s tariff burden equals about $5,600 per household—the nation’s highest. Congress has power over tariffs. Bergman backed them. You got the bill. Vote Callie Barr. Callie means change.

How much more can we take? Healthcare. Groceries. Gas. Everything costs more. We can’t keep going like this. If nothing changes, more families will fall behind. We need change, and we need it now. It's time to fire Jack Bergman. Vote Callie Barr for Congress. Callie means Change.

www.michiganfarmnews.com/about/news-m... Jack Bergman voted to keep the war in Iran going while we pay the price at the pump. High diesel prices hurt our farmers and drive up our grocery bills. When it costs more to grow and haul our food, we all pay more. Enough is enough. It’s time for change.

Jack Bergman is the #1 abuser of taxpayer money in all of Congress! He spent $479,447 on fancy hotels & lodging! His campaign spent $1M+ at private clubs, resorts & restaurants while families max out credit cards for gas & groceries. Enough is enough. It’s time to fire Jack Bergman!

Listen to Callie's interview on Sunny 101.9: "I am committed to fighting corruption and lowering costs. Right now, Jack Bergman has an ethics complaint filed against him with the U.S. House Ethics Committee. He was the highest spender in Congress for reimbursement. That's not okay."
