Eric Zimmerman

Zimmerman is one of the twelve inaugural members of Portland's new expanded city council after switching from a city commission government to a mayor–council government. Due to the close nature of his race, Zimmerman (along with Jamie Dunphy from District 1) was one of the last two confirmed winners of the election. He attended the University of Portland. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Business Administration degree. He is also a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq. He has also served in the Oregon Army National Guard.
