Political career
Greenwood was President of the Massachusetts State Senate in 1912 and 1913.[5]
1913 election
In 1913 election, Greenwood had initially decided not to run for re-election the Senate but to run for lieutenant governor. He then changed his mind. His opposition to giving women the right to vote caused him to be a focus of opposition by the suffragist movement,[15] and suffragists threw their support to Edward Sibley,[4] Greenwood's opponent, which helped Sibley win.[4]
