Voting analysis
Two of Jack Bergman's five filings concern land held by named tribal communities in his state — one authorising a conveyance, one settling a land claim. Land claim settlements are among the slowest instruments in the legislative repertoire. They resolve disputes that have often outlasted several generations of the people who started them, and they arrive as statutes because no court can end them cleanly.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 44 currently sit at Introduced.
Snow and service banners
A third bill concerns storm ploughing. A fourth would establish a new service banner. A fifth simplifies inspections at state veterans homes. Defence dominates his classified subjects, which his committee post accounts for — he chairs readiness at Armed Services, and the Californian who leads the minority on that panel also appears on this site.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Jack Bergman's cluster into: Armed Forces and National Security (17), Government Operations and Politics (6), Health (5), Immigration (4), Education (3), International Affairs (3).
Three departures
An amendment vote. A rotorcraft safety bill he supported that failed. And the resolution directing the ethics committee to preserve and publish records, which he opposed while his conference carried it — one of several Republican noes on that measure recorded across this site.
| Roll call | Date | Outcome | Their vote |
|---|---|---|---|
| H.Res.1100 Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release records of the Committee’s review of violations or alleged violations of clause 9 (as it pertains to acts of sexual harassment) and clause 18 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives. On Motion to Refer · roll call 83 | Mar 4, 2026 | Passed | Nay (party: Yea) |
| S.2503 ROTOR Act On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass · roll call 72 | Feb 24, 2026 | Failed | Yea (party: Nay) |
| H.R.7148 On Agreeing to the Amendment roll call 44 | Jan 22, 2026 | Failed | No (party: Yea) |
