Lund Eriksen was active in Socialist Youth in his teenage years, and as a member of the Norwegian Socialist Left Party (SV) in Nordland, Eriksen was a deputy in the Storting Parliament from 1997 to 2001. In March 2015 he was elected to the SV central board with a special responsibility to follow up on the project "Yes to Northern Norway."
