In 2002, Knapik was elected to the city council from Ward 2 and ran for Mayor of Westfield in the city's 2009 municipal election after defeating incumbent Michael Boulanger and was sworn-in on January 4, 2010. Since then, Knapik was re-elected unopposed in 2011 and narrowly defeated challenger Michael Roeder in 2013.
