Prior to that, he had a stint as chief of staff to Assemblyman Dov Hikind.[5] Greenfield is ranked as the 51st most powerful New Yorker in City & State's most recent Power 100 list, ranking him one slot behind billionaire political activist George Soros.[6] Greenfield is Orthodox Jewish and prays in R' Landau's Synagogue in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, among other Orthodox shuls in the neighborhood.[7] Greenfield voted against a 2010 bill that required the City Clerks office to post on its website, and hand out at its office, information on where exactly in the U.S. and the world same sex couples are able to get married.[8] New York City CouncilOn January 7, 2010 Greenfield announced his candidacy on the Zev Brenner radio show to replace Simcha Felder.[9] Felder announced his resignation after accepting the post as the new deputy comptroller for accounting and budget under John Liu.[10] Greenfield received powerful endorsements from groups and politicians from both sides of the aisle, including US Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) [11] NYC Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg,[12] Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch [13] NY State Senators Carl Kruger, Martin J. Golden.[14] He received the support of local NYC council members Domenic Recchia, Lewis Fidler, Michael C. Nelson, and Vincent J.

This legislation is the lynchpin of Vision Zero and is widely considered to be the key strategy behind saving lives by reducing traffic accidents in New York City.[26] Greenfield is a long-time advocate for increased government funding for public and non-public (including religious) schools.[27] In July 2017 he announced that he would not be seeking a third term, and would instead be taking over as CEO of the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, when Alan Schoor retires in 2018.[28]
