In 2012, she was elected as the Republican Party of New Hampshire's (NH GOP) national committeewoman to the Republican National Committee. Bergeron was re-elected to another four-year term as the NH GOP's national committeewoman in June 2016.

Bergeron serves on the executive committee of the NH GOP and is a member of the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women.[3][6][7]

For the 2016 election cycle, Bergeron was appointed to the Republican National Committee’s Debate Committee, which decided when, where, and on what networks the Republican presidential debates would take place.[8] Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus described the committee as being "responsible for implementing the new GOP debate policies in the 2016 presidential election."[8]
