About Me


Bergman has a son, Billy and daughter in-law Michele, as well as two grandsons Max and Jack.  Bergman, who is the director of catering for the Flanders Hotel has lived in Ocean City for the past 31 years, always taking on the role as a strong independent business woman.  Prior to her role at the Flanders, Bergman owned and operated Nash’s News on Asbury Avenue from 1997-2004, which helped foster her passion for Ocean City and the business community she served. 

Bergman’s experience not only as a former business owner but her depth of knowledge about council politics, makes her a strong candidate to represent the interests of those she serves with passion and presence.  The close knit community feel and the vibrancy the summer season brings showcases all the things Bergman loves about Ocean City.  Knowing she can be a small part of it’s continued evolvement is what the city council at large position means to her—choosing people over politics.

She is an active and awarded member of a various advisory boards throughout the city, including:

  • She was an Executive Board Member for the Mainstreet Board responsible for allocating funds generated to the Asbury Avenue business district from the SID tax.
  • She was awarded the 2019 Businesswoman of the year. 
  • She served on the BAND and Ocean City Chamber Boards
  • She currently sits on the executive board of the Ocean City Tourism Commission

Bergman prides herself on her common sense approach to politics, knowing that her ability to bridge the gap between constituents questions and concerns and the administrations practices and policies are vital for success for all parties involved.
