Hi! I'm Eric and I'm running for the Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation.

What's that, you ask? The "BET" is an elected council that decides how much the city can levy in property taxes to fund public services like parks and street repairs.

Here's why I'm running:

We need to talk more about the value our tax dollars create, not just the burden of paying them

(part 1 of 2 because Bluesky only allows 60s vids!)

Went on @wedge.live emergency ride like I usually do but repurposing now for campaign content.

These public restrooms were open at 9pm! 👍👍👍

Join @wedge.live and your favorite BET candidate for a fully clothed emergency ride tonight at 7pm. Roll out at 7:30.

Meet by the @blooskie.bsky.social bench at Mueller Park 🤠

🚨TONIGHT: Emergency bike ride departs Mueller Park at 7:30. This is not to be confused with the emergency naked bike ride. You can keep your clothes on.

I told @omarfatehmn.com to rep my crewneck and he said, “Of course, bro! I’ll wear it to sleep!” 💀💀💀

I do not apologize for making @taylordahlin.com look fabulous.

On Saturday @ehbforbet.bsky.social gave a wonderful and uplifting speech emphasizing the importance of local politics, about how in these crisis times, one thing we can count on into the future is that we'll be living in community with each other.

Would be lost without @seanlimmn.bsky.social’s incredible design skills.

And also know that it’s not his fault I haven’t sent updated photos 😬

Knocking apartments with literature I designed, for @ehbforbet.bsky.social!

I’m excited to be talking to renters about the Board of Estimate & Taxation (BET), an important body which shapes Minneapolis’ long-term fiscal trajectory.

Rank Eric Harris Bernstein #1 and Steve Brandt #2! 🗳️ EHBforBET.com

Spotted my first @ehbforbet.bsky.social bench in the wild (at Painter Park).

And it’s in a spot that has been in dire need of public seating for a very long time.

Thank you, @locallhuman.bsky.social & @ehbforbet.bsky.social !
A bench created during a campaign event for Eric is in painter park near the skate park. Laura’s bike is leaning against it

One of many incredible moments at yesterday’s Bench-Raising. Thanks so much to everyone who made this vision come true!

Now imagine what we can do when the whole city works together. Follow along and help us build a city budget that works for everyone!

It’s a huge honor to work with public sector unions on how we can fund and improve the services they provide.

I am excited to bring that conversation to the city of Minneapolis as a member of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, and AFSCME’s support means the world to me.

Just got to witness our AFSCME Council 5 endorsed candidate for BET @ehbforbet.bsky.social in his element, talking about taxes at the C5 Convention!

Follow @ehbforbet on Instagram. Vote for me. Request a lawn sign. Talk about the BET. Make it your whole personality.

All the cool kids are doing it.

Rep. Agbaje was one of the first people I worked with in the state legislature and I quickly learned that she was a principled leader with good ideas and a sharp eye for inequities impacting her community.

I'm honored to have her support in my run for the Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation!
The image shows state representative Esther Agbaje next to an endorsement quote for Eric Harris Bernstein.

It reads, "Eric would be a great addition to the BET! Working with Eric, I have come to see taxes not just as a burden, but an opportunity for our city. We need more people with positive vision for a thriving Minneapolis. Eric has the energy and background to help and I'm proud to support his run for BET."

It was great knocking doors for Katie. As a member of the BET, I would work with anyone elected mayor or city council.

But it’s awful to see organized money going after someone so smart, hard-working, and productive. Get out there and support Katie if you can!
