Former legislator Brian Bergson mulling 64B race

Former DFL legislator Brian Bergson says he's thinking about getting into the 64B race as well. He says people have talked to him about it, but he's hasn't made any decisions.


Bergson works now as an Assistant to the Commissioner in Minnesota’s Department of Labor and Industry.

Bergson's resume includes being a principal at SquareOne Consulting, LLC., and a stint at Goff Public, the Lowertown public affairs/public relations shop.

Before that, he was communications and legislative affairs director for Minnesota attorney general Lori Swanson, handling both press and lobbying duties. He also worked for eight years as a lobbyist for the Minnesota Association of Professional employees. 

In the mid 90s, he was a co-owner of Capitol Targeting, "a political polling, fundraising and consulting business.”

Bergson is also a veteran of the US Military.  He served in the US Army for 21 years, and most recently the USAF.  In 2011 he deployed to Afghanistan.


Before that, he served District 48A in 1993-1994, representing Osseo, Brooklyn Park and Champlin.

  1. SO, WHERE DO YOU STAND ON INCLUSION? SINCE THE POPULATION OF MAJORITY WILL SOON BECOME JUST ANOTHER MINORITY POPULATION AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING COMING OUT OF ANY LEVEL OF GOVT. TO ADDRESS THIS. I'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE A MAYOR'S COUNCIL SET UP IN BOTH MPLS. AND ST. PAUL. THE SAME AS HUMPHREY DID BACK IN THE 40'S. TO ADDRESS THE INTOLERANCE BACK THEN.

    THEN I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A POLICY ESTABLISHED WHERE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS FACTORED INTO ANY NEW BUILDING. ONLY BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT 80% SHORT ON THAT, FOR THE BABY BOOMERS. OTHERWISE I'D SUGGEST INSTALLING OUTLETS UNDER ALL BRIDGES, SO THEY HAVE A WARM PLACE TO LIVE.
