Richie Greenberg is a San Francisco-based Republican political commentator, national network contributor, columnist, podcaster, ballot measure author, and city hall critic. He was the founder of the movement to oust District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2021. Greenberg was the Republican candidate for mayor of San Francisco in the June 2018 special election, running largely on a tough-on-crime platform, on city hall accountability, opposing "Safe Injection Sites", slashing the bloated budget, and putting the brakes on out of control homelessness spending. He spearheaded an effort to defeat the re-election of San Francisco mayor London Breed in 2024, known as BREEXIT.
Greenberg brings his viewpoint to the nation from San Francisco relating his living and working over twenty-three years residence in the City by the Bay. His opinion column appears regularly on the California Globe Political News site.
Greenberg continues earning local and national media attention as he brings a balanced, straightforward message in an otherwise sea of progressive, left-wing radical ideology. Network television, cable news channels and print media large and small, across the political spectrum left, right and center, have sought his opinions and analysis. He’s raised awareness on crime, law enforcement, homelessness, drug addiction, city hall corruption, recall elections, George Soros and Reparations.
Born and raised in Queens and on Long Island, New York, Greenberg moved to Los Angeles to attend college. He's lived in Israel and South Dakota as well. He's now a resident of San Francisco since 2001.
Between 2016 and 2021, Greenberg began involvement in San Francisco Republican Party leadership having first been endorsed for his candidacy for District 1 supervisor (city councilman) in 2016. He then served as a delegate alternate on the San Francisco Republican County Central Committee (SFRCCC) until elected to full delegate status in May, 2018. Greenberg served on the SFGOP Executive Committee as the Vice Chair of Volunteers, as assistant to the Vice Chair of Political Affairs, and as a member of the Rapid Response Comms Team. He retained his Central Committee delegate seat in the 2019/2020 election. He was elected at-large board member of the San Francisco Log Cabin Republicans, and was an adjunct member of the SF Republican Women Federated. He was active in the Bay Area Conservatives meetup group as well.
Greenberg was appointed for the 2019/2020 term as delegate to the CAGOP, representing California's Assembly District 19 (West side of San Francisco). He participated in two state GOP conventions, in Sacramento and Palm Desert, California.
