Iraq veteran plans to challenge freshman Rep. Bergman
"Democrats have tapped a Iraq veteran with a long career in the Marines to challenge freshman Republican Rep. Jack Bergman – also a retired Marine officer – for his seat representing northern Michigan in 2018.
Retired Marine Lt. Col. Matthew W. Morgan, a Democrat, said Wednesday he filed the paperwork to run against Bergman. It will be his first bid for public office, inspired in part by the growing number of Iraq veterans in Congress."
