Political career
Berding was elected to a two-year term on the Cincinnati City Council in 2005 in his first campaign for political office. He raised the most money of all the candidates in the race. Although he is a Democrat, the council seats are nonpartisan.
In 2009, the local Democratic Party withdrew its endorsement of Berding.
In January 2011, Berding announced that he would soon resign from his council position, citing a desire to focus on his position with the Cincinnati Bengals. He stayed on the council for two more months before officially resigning in March.
