Eric Zimmerman is an American politician who was elected to Portland City Council in 2024 in District 4, along with Olivia Clark and Mitch Green. 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.
